Another of my sayings: bring me a problem, you have a partner. Bring me a crisis, you get a judge. Which one do you want?

Those of us who’ve been around (not naming names but you know who you are) have first hand experience with interference from HQ in matters that should be Chapter business. And this extends to membership selection which, as DGTess pointed out, is supposed to be reserved for the collegians/actives. The stories I have - shaking my head and saying to myself that this is beyond wrong. The GPA alone - wtf?

Wrong hill to die on. This is going to be costly, and not just monetarily, for Kappa Kappa Gamma, and for the rest of the NPC. The lawyers are going to have a field day.

I’m most furious with what the actives had to endure. Wondering where the angry parents are in all this? If my daughter … yeah okay you can connect the dots.

According to this article, then PNM Artemis Langford was making comments during recruitment about an interest in cadavers. Apparently also ignored questions related to hobbies and future goals, but was very interested in living in sorority housing. Adding to what has been disclosed about Artemis' low GPA, I believe that most of the organizations were likely concerned about the conversations members had with her.

Langford started participating in sorority recruitment in spring 2022. While meeting members of the Delta Delta Delta sorority, Langford allegedly shared his interest in cadavers and touching human corpses, the complaint claimed.
Langford repeatedly asked whether he could live in the sorority house but dodged questions about his hobbies and goals, a witness who chatted with him during the week’s events recalled, according to the complaint. His comments and mannerisms have left many women feeling uneasy about their continued membership and living situation at the house.

You KNOW they were forced to take him! Nobody would touch a regular PNM who acted that bizarrely and had a 1.9.

O-oh man. If someone had said that during recruitment, let's just say she would have been dropped ASAP.

I do genuinely feel bad for the LGBT community who just want to live their lives, have relations, whatever. The ironic thing is there are plenty of LGBT organizations that accept anyone regardless of gender identity.

Hopefully quietly behind the scenes, paying for an absolute shark of a lawyer and on the horn to media getting the story out. IMO the suit being filed by the women who actually had to live in the situation carries more weight than if the parents had filed it - no accusations of helicoptering can interfere with the business at hand (although heaven knows if ever there was a time for some fwap fwap, this certainly would be it).
