Sorority members say they were told to change definition of woman to allow transgender to join

Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters on Monday said that their national sorority headquarters told them to change their definition of a woman in order to allow a transgender woman to join their chapter at the University of Wyoming. 

The sorority sisters are now involved in a lawsuit against Kappa's national leadership after it approved Artemis Langford, a biological male who identifies as a woman, as a member of the Wyoming chapter in fall 2022.

"When we brought up privacy and safety concerns, we were either ignored or told to be quiet and change our definition of a woman," eight Wyoming sorority sisters wrote in an op-ed for Fox News.

"We have a simple claim: we were promised an all-female experience, and we have the legal right to that. Kappa Kappa Gamma’s bylaws restrict membership to women," they said.

The sorority sisters said they filed the lawsuit to prevent other women from being placed in a similar situation.

Their op-ed comes after Kappa Kappa Gamma's national headquarters filed a motion last month to dismiss the lawsuit.
