Regardless of the flounce and the high probability of at least SOME fabrication of the original story, I still think it's an interesting issue to discuss. And although I do have a trans friend (can't finish the process because of a successful career as a drag queen) I can't say I know too much about the issue, except that drag=|= trans. And particularly where it would apply to sorority membership I would want complete transition before consideration, which all but eliminates membership at the collegiate level.
But if a hermaphrodite had gender assignment completed before college I have no issues with membership. You just gotta have the right parts and hopefully we can trust your answer to that question because holy hazing Batman, finding out would be a problem.

Actually, the term hermaphrodite is kind of like calling someone an Oriental these days. It's intersex. And the prevailing attitude nowadays is not to force "normalizing" surgery on minors.

It sucks that your friend's job is the only thing holding her back from surgery, if that's what she wants. On the other hand, if she's who I think she is, I can see where it would be hard to give up a gig that lucrative.
