Yep. If they had, they would just say "she."

Just FYI, all the fraternities (except for a Pi Kappa Alpha chapter) and sororities at the university are locals.

I would assume that at 18, even if he's self-identified as female, there may not have been a lot he could do from a physiological standpoint to prepare for life as a woman.

I would think that unless his parents were on board years earlier, and they found a doctor who agreed, that he would probably be just now be at the age where he could start making medical steps to realizing his goal.

But everything I know about Transgender I learned on 20/20. So, there's that.

Perhaps the local context can make the difference. Either way, she will probably always be known as the "male student who identifies as transgendered."
