Alumnae Petition Federal Court to Revive Lawsuit Against Kappa Kappa Gamma

By Rhyter Times Desk · 6m ago

Former members of Kappa Kappa Gamma have taken their legal dispute to federal court in an effort to revive a lawsuit against the organization, according to reporting from Fox News and the New York Post. The alumnae are challenging the sorority's national leadership over the admission of a transgender woman.

According to Fox News, alumna Allie Coghan stated that Kappa Kappa Gamma pledged a "sisterhood" but permitted the member to join without conducting an official membership vote or enacting a bylaw amendment. The New York Post similarly reported that the alumnae are asking federal judges to reinstate their suit, arguing that national leadership acted improperly in permitting the chapter's actions.
