Surfacing for lurker-dom.
This scenario has present itself in my sorority. A member was pledged (and i believe initiated) while identifying as female. The member then came out as being transgender. So the active chapter has decided that they shall be a Gender Neutral sorority. As a local, the politics of this are a little less so than in a national sorority. Overall, the reaction in the alum chapter has been positive (at least in my circles of it- there's a forum planned). We've got to meet to talk about what this means for ritual etc., but to me, this is living our motto more than anything else. "To thine own self be true." The actives could have raised a fuss, insisted that the member be stripped of membership...but instead they valued that member's contributions and activities in the sorority. The best thing I ever got from Tau Delta was the support, love, and caring of my chapter. And I'm so, so glad we can expand our circle further. :-)
