Sex Change and Membership

[Munchkin03]

I think that the "type" of person who would undergo a sex change would also become less active in his/her GLO as the years went on--probably well before any operation or treatment. It would probably be one more figment of their "previous life" that they'd be willing to let go of. I doubt that many post-op transsexuals are lining up for AI.

As progressive as we'd like to think our respective groups are, they are still very conservative and bastions of traditional behavior.

That said, if I wanted a man in my sorority, well, I would have joined a co-ed.

BON-One of my Brothers, after graduation, did have an operation.
I found out while doing a search for my pledge class reunion.
Up until then, I believed that there was only one woman member of SAE.
My Brother is still listed, just under a new name.

I want to know more about this. Can you tell more?

What I would give to be a fly on the wall at that recruitment:
ABC Rusher: I love your shoes! You have great style!
Rushee: Thank you so much. The ability to wear cute Manolos like these was part of the reason for why I wanted to get a sex change.

Hmm....

I would say that if you are a gender-confused individual, sorority membership is probably the last thing on your mind. Seriously, if you consider yourself more like a guy...why would you want to be around flower prints and pink for long periods of time?

I really don't think that a guy who thinks himself a girl would want to be in a trashed out fraternity house and do "manly" things.

Homosexuality is something else entirely. I know some homosexual men who are in fraternities, but they are "manly" and are not at all the stereotype. LOL, most of their brothers don't even know because they don't suspect it even though they freely admit it. There was a guy who tried to rush the sororities last year, but it was shot down. I don't really know any homosexual females, so I cannot comment at all on that.

Be REALISTIC PEOPLE!!!!!

FYI, HQ would probably never know unless you were very very public with it or told them.

I think you are right. I doubt that the member would want to continue in a group that reflects the previous identity.

As far as a transsexual rushing, it's hard for me to imagine too many chapters where the person is going to be "a good fit" to use an expression under discussion in another thread.

Even if you made a deliberate effort not to release the person for this particular issue, I think that the intangible aspects of what people look for in a good member would be genuinely off.
