Kappa Kappa Gamma and Transgender Members: The Notorious KKG

Kappa Kappa Gamma became the one of the first women’s fraternities to initiate a male student last year. Members sued their Wyoming chapter after it allowed Artemis Langford, a 6′ 2″, 260-pound man who claims he is a woman, to join the sisterhood. Kappa nationals recently kicked out two prominent alumni for standing against that decision, National Review’s Caroline Downey reported on Thursday. I’d like to agree with pundits who call for the erasure of sororities before they all become hubs for transgenderism, but as a proud Kappa, I can’t.

Hillsdale College had only three sororities, and choosing Kappa five years ago was easy. The house of blue and blue exuded grace, class, and fellowship; the sorority wasn’t perfect, nor was it the most profound experience. But Kappa gave girls a home to navigate womanhood.
