Sorority in TX Opens Up Rush To Transgender Student

Kudos to them for being progressive.

ETA: I think the fact that this is happening in San Antonio (as opposed to Dallas, Houston, or Austin) is another "WOW" factor for me.

If I were told this story and asked to guess the city, I would have gone with Houston or Austin for sure. There are so many GLOs at U. Texas Austin, I would think this scenario quite plausible today.

Anyone have any idea why this has been announced at this time? Once a bid is extended or initiation has been conducted, I could see the rationale- but am I alone in thinking it unusual that the story is about someone being welcomed/invited to enter the rush process?

It isn't unusual. It is a big deal for a KNOWN transgendered student to even be allowed to rush.

If this had been my school, I think it would have dominated conversations for a while.

I've never read the Green Book, but if this were a school with NPC groups rather than locals would it even be possible for this situation to happen?
