The people who told me this was actually the head of sorority life at my school. Her exact quote was "as long as you get a bid the odds of you getting in are very high. As in, as long as you don't kill a sister you will be initiated". I found out later that the advisors had been informed that I was trans explicitly to keep me out. Despite the fact the head of sorority life at my school said that every sorority on campus had their national office say I was eligible for a bid.

@ the bold: You answered your own question.


Just know that a person's character, reputation, and lifestyle are the 'soft criteria' that are also taken into consideration for membership - whether it is fair or not, it is done.

In this age of 24/7, everything on social media, it is harder to hide who you are these days. Back in my day of joining, it was all word of mouth which may or may not have been true, so it was easy to ignore. Now, not at all when people post everything about their life on the web.
