Anna, I'm sorry you had this experience. That must have been hard. Your reception would have been much easier here if you'd been honest from the beginning. I think that the advice given you was bad. I'm not sure where you go to school, but I suspect that you'd have to be at a VERY progressive school on the East coast or in California to get a bid to an NPC at this time. Anywhere else, sororities are still very conservative. None of us likes to see people excluded. We as individual members didn't write the rules regarding membership, and they won't change anytime soon as NPC groups were founded for the betterment of women. Until society at large accepts transgender people, I wouldn't expect membership criteria to change. It is happening much more quickly than I thought as young children are attending school as the opposite sex in many areas with no problems. As those children grow up with friends who know them as their chosen sex, we'll start to see things move.
