CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A national sorority has defended allowing a transgender woman into its University of Wyoming chapter, saying in a new court motion that the chapter followed sorority rules despite a lawsuit from seven women in the organization who argued the opposite.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma motion to dismiss, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Cheyenne, is the sorority’s first substantive response to the lawsuit, other than a March statement by its executive director, Kari Kittrell Poole, that the complaint contains “numerous false allegations.”
“The central issue in this case is simple: do the plaintiffs have a legal right to be in a sorority that excludes transgender women? They do not,” the motion to dismiss reads.
The sorority sisters opposed to Langford’s induction could presumably change the policy if most sorority members shared their view, or they could resign if “a position of inclusion is too offensive to their personal values,” the sorority’s motion to dismiss says.
“What they cannot do is have this court define their membership for them,” the motion asserts, adding that “private organizations have a right to interpret their own governing documents.”
Even if they didn’t, the motion to dismiss says, the lawsuit fails to show how the sorority violated or unreasonably interpreted Kappa Kappa Gamma bylaws.
The sorority sisters’ lawsuit asks U.S. District Court Judge Alan Johnson to declare Langford’s sorority membership void and to award unspecified damages.
The lawsuit claims Langford’s presence in the Kappa Kappa Gamma house made some sorority members uncomfortable. Langford would sit on a couch for hours while “staring at them without talking,” the lawsuit alleges.

Women, stupidly destroying themselves
Otter: Flounder, I am appointing you pledge representative to the social committee.
Flounder: Gee Otter, thanks. What do I have to do?
Otter: It means you have to drive us to the Food King.
Ah some movies never grow old and even survive the modern touchie-feelies desire to cancel them.
Tell the hard heads in the national office to pound sand and leave the group.
They never learn.
“Take your silly rule of law and get lost. That nonsense don’t apply to us.”
Ditto.
***Flounder fathered a tranny ?***
Wouldn’t put it past him, the bastard killed a horse for Gods sake.
I’d sue for my dues back and leave, assuming they pay dues - I have no idea how Greek culture works.
There were blanks in that gun.
I think you apply during "pledge week" in September, then they pick who they want.
However, "private" institutions often can't discriminate against "protected classes."
AGroucho Marx glasses?!
"do the plaintiffs have a legal right to be in a sorority that excludes transgender women? They do not"
We need the dues...

Hey Kappa Kappa Gamma!
Hmmm...a thought occurred to me...how many whites are allowed to join ‘black’ sororities?
A blanket party is what that fat fag needs.
Form a new Kappa Gamma Kappa sorority and invite all girls nationwide to ditch KKG for it.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma girls I knew wouldn’t have the that in even if it was a real she.
She’s have to go the Phi Moos
He still killed the horse.
Sororities can “cut” this person, just like they do to others during the rush process. He/she/it has to go by the same rules as everyone else and if it gets cut, that’s just the way the ball rolls during recruitment week. No one else sues because they got cut. A tranny shouldn’t either. Sickos.
