The more I read about this story, the more it feels like it’s a big scam. A transgender woman college student at the University of Wyoming was admitted to Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) sorority. Seven sorority members have filed a lawsuit against KKG for accepting a male student who identifies as a transgender woman. It is the first sorority in the University of Wyoming’s history to accept an openly transgender student.

I’ll note as I get started here that Langford will be referred to as “he” throughout this post because that is how Langford is referred to in the legal complaint and how reports of this story refer to Langford. He is labeled “Terry Smith” in the legal complaint. The women are called “Jane Does.” He has done nothing to transition “to create a more feminine appearance” and “has not undergone treatments.” He is 21 years old, 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighs 260 pounds, according to the legal document. “No other member of Kappa Kappa Gamma has comparable size or strength.”

Besides his physical characteristics, he has a profile on Tinder where he says he is seeking to meet women. The lawsuit claims he is “sexually interested in women.”

He is a staff writer for the Branding Iron, a local publication. When he was accepted into the sorority he spoke about breaking a glass ceiling.

“I feel so glad to be in a place that I think not only shares my values, but to be in a sisterhood of awesome women that want to make history,” Langford told The Branding Iron, a local publication where he is also employed as a contributor, during an interview last year. “They want to break the glass ceiling, trailblazing you know, and I certainly feel that as their first trans member, at least in the chapter in Wyoming history.”

He admits he wants to make history and says so does the sorority. It just seems like that is why he is doing this and probably why the KKG is doing it, too. Everyone is being punked. Is he even serious about being transgender? It sounds like he just identifies as a woman but has done nothing to change himself to live as a woman except to join a sorority. I admit, it doesn’t make sense to me.

The sorority houses 50 women. He doesn’t currently live in the house but is moving in soon. He is in the house all the time. Once he moves in, he’ll have access to the shared shower facilities. The doors to the communal showers do not lock. The main bathroom does not have a private changing area. Remember, this guy is still fully equipped. Sorority members claim he sits around and “watches” them.

So, seven of the women in KKG filed a lawsuit. They filed the lawsuit on March 27 against the sorority and its council president, Mary Pat Rooney. They ask that the court void Langford’s membership in KKG.

“An adult human male does not become a woman just because he tells others that he has a female ‘gender identity’ and behaves in what he believes to be a stereotypically female manner,” reads the legal complaint, filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court for Wyoming.

“The Fraternity Council has betrayed the central purpose and mission of Kappa Kappa Gamma by conflating the experience of being a woman with the experience of men engaging in behavior generally associated with women.”

There are allegations that Langford has been sexually aroused around the women and they are uncomfortable with him silently watching them.

“One sorority member walked down the hall to take a shower, wearing only a towel … She felt an unsettling presence, turned, and saw Mr. Smith watching her silently,” the court document reads.

“Mr. Smith has, while watching members enter the sorority house, had an erection visible through his leggings,” the suit says. “Other times, he has had a pillow in his lap.”

It all sounds creepy and certainly awkward. Women in sororities pay to live in the house. They deserve to feel comfortable in their home.

It is further alleged that Langford took photographs of the women while at a sorority slumber party, where he also is said to have made inappropriate comments.

“Smith repeatedly questioned the women about what vaginas look like, breast cup size, whether women were considering breast reductions and birth control,” the complaint alleges.

Langford “was supposed” to leave the slumber party by 10 p.m. that evening but did not, saying that he intended to leave after the women fell asleep. After singing to himself at approximately 11 p.m., Langford finally left the residence at midnight, only to return the next morning.

At that time, it is stated that Langford stood silently in the corner of the room while watching other pledges change out of their sleeping garments.

One more disturbing allegation as told by the women is even bolder.

The lawsuit also highlighted a disturbing incident involving one of the women as she changed her clothing. Unaware that Langford had returned to the house, she faced away from the women and removed her shirt. The woman, who was not wearing a bra, turned to discover Langford staring at her after she had put on a clean shirt.

Some of the KKG members would later tell the woman that Langford had appeared sexually aroused during this incident. It was claimed that Langford stood with “his hands over his genitals,” and has since repeatedly questioned the woman about her “romantic attachments.”

Transgender or not. Something just isn’t right here. Where are the parents of the sorority members? Are they ok with all this? The women aren’t asking for damages from Langford, just that he be expelled from the sorority.

The sorority made a decision to go woke and this is what is happening.

“After national sorority officials disregarded the secret voting process required by Sorority rules and after extensive behind-the-scenes direction from national Sorority officials and alumnae advisers – the Sorority inducted a man, Terry Smith, as a member,” the lawsuit states.

It alleges that sorority bylaws, corporate and other governing documents promise members and prospective members a single-sex organization and a sisterhood intended to be a haven during their college years.

Rooney and the members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Council in 2018 issued a memorandum titled “Guide for Supporting our LGBTQIA+ Members” instructing sorority chapters to admit both women and “individuals who identify as women.”

The plaintiffs allege that this “Guide” does not alter the bylaws, corporate governing and other founding documents of the sorority, and that the sorority has therefore breached its fiduciary duty toward its female members.

Congress in 1974 created an exception to Title IX’s embargo on sex discrimination to allow sororities and fraternities to discriminate to preserve single-sex organizations, the lawsuit notes.

Some sorority members admit they would have voted against him being admitted to the sorority if the vote was secret. It was not so they felt the pressure to vote in the affirmative.

As I said, this sounds like a squirrely story. We’ll see if a man is allowed to continue to play-act his way into sorority membership, as he has done so far. What a mess.
