• The President kissed the captain and boy howdy did this cause so much drama.
• They are calling for him to resign and he basically just said flatly, no.
• Where are all the women that are upset about this that aren’t mad about the men that are systematically bringing an end to all women’s only sports.

HEADLINE: Sorority Can Decide to Admit Men Who Identify Female Into Ranks, Federal Judge Rules by Bill Pan 

• Have you ever heard of a Blanket Party?
• “Under the Sorority’s bylaws, every new member must be ‘a woman,'” the sorority sisters argued in their complaint. “A woman is an adult human female. An adult human male is not a woman, no matter how he chooses to describe himself.”
• By  following this guide, the suing women claimed, Kappa twisted its principles and conflated the experience of being a woman with the experience of men engaging in stereotypically female behavior. They asked the court to revoke Mr. Langford’s admission, as well as to declare the implementation of the 2018 guide unlawful—a move that would prevent other males from joining the group.

HEADLINE: Court Rules that Sorority Be Forced to Accept Biological Male by Eric Lendrum 

• Judge Alan B. Johnson, who was appointed to the District Court for the District of Wyoming by Ronald Reagan, declared that the national organization is allowed to interpret its own bylaws’ definitions as it sees fit, and thus was not in violation of its contracts by allowing Langford to join.
• As the members demanded that KKG should use its bylaws to properly define what a “woman” is, Johnson disagreed: “Defining ‘woman’ is Kappa Kappa Gamma’s bedrock right as a private, voluntary organization – and one this Court may not invade,” the judge wrote in his decision.
• There have, however, been more successful efforts to protect sorority membership elsewhere in the country. In July, a chapter of the Chi Omega sorority in New York kicked out a biological male who attempted to join, since their guidelines do define what a woman is.
