Transgender women in sorority life?

[carnation]

Anna, I don't even know where to begin re: the ideas you have about sorority life. Believe me, if a sorority has 40 bids to give out in informal recruitment, they are in BIG trouble. They only gave out 9 of those? Here comes national to jerk their charter.

And a Greek Life adviser can't tell you that all the nationals said you could get a bid. I huugely doubt that any of them would go out on a limb and say that and it wouldn't be true anyway. A Greek Life adviser may not speak for the individual groups.

What's with the line "as long as you get a bid, the odds of you getting in are very high"? It's the same thing. Getting a bid=getting in.

You think you were kept out because of discrimination? Maybe, maybe not but we have many threads on GC about how it's practically impossible to get a bid as a senior. Even juniors are heavily cut on many campuses.

And I am still confused about your assertion that you know that non-Greeks at big campuses have no chance at a social life (due to what friends there told you) and that Greeks are denying trans people the opportunity to be involved on campus. So untrue.

This thread wins the award for the most disconnected thread in 14 years on Greekchat.

Well I said that once about the campuses where greek life is big based on things my friends have told me (I actually am on a campus where involvement is very low). and yes that is what I was told, maybe she didn't have the authority or right to tell me that but she did. I was a PNM who didn't know better. And yeah I know they are in big trouble but that was kind of the point. That if they didn't give me a bid when they were that big of trouble it was out of spite more than anything

Maybe they didn't want to take on the battle of fighting for trans acceptance when they were already in trouble numbers-wise. That's not spite, it's fear.
