AUniversity of Wyoming sorority has hit back at members who complained
about a trans woman being accepted into their local chapter � insisting
the term �woman� is �unquestionably open to many interpretations.�

Seven sorority sisters from the Kappa Kappa Gamma sued the sorority in
March, saying that the chapter violated its own rules by admitting Artemis
Langford last year.

Six of the women then refiled the lawsuit in May after a judge twice
barred them from suing anonymously.

The lawsuit claimed Langford�s presence in the Kappa Kappa Gamma house
made some sorority members uncomfortable.

It alleged that the trans pledge would sit on a couch for hours while
�staring at them without talking.�

On Tuesday, Kappa Kappa Gamma filed a motion to dismiss the suit, claiming
that it is a �frivolous� attempt to kick Langford out for �their own
political purposes.�

The motion also suggested the complaining members resign from the sorority
if its �position of inclusion� is �too offensive� for them.

Members allege the sorority bent and broke its rules to induct Langford in
September. Facebook / Artemis Langford
�Plaintiffs request the Court to insert itself into this controversial
political debate and declare that a private organization can only
interpret the term �woman� using Plaintiffs� exclusionary definition of
biologically born females,� the motion, obtained by The Post, reads.

�Kappa defines its membership in its position statement adopted in 2015 as
individuals who identify as women,� it continues.

�Plaintiffs cannot identify any bylaw, standing rule, or policy that
prohibits Kappa from taking this position, and the term is unquestionably
open to multiple interpretations.�

The sorority�s membership policy also mirrors those of the 25 other
sororities in the National Panhellenic Conference, the umbrella
organization for sororities in the US and Canada, according to the filing.

Kappa Kappa Gamma argued in a legal filing that the term �woman� has
evolved since its founding 150 years ago. Facebook / Kappa Kappa Gamma

One member reportedly claimed she was called a �bigot� and �transphobe�
for not wanting to shower or sleep in the same space as Langford.Facebook
In a separate filing Tuesday in support of the sorority�s motion to
dismiss the case, an attorney for Langford wrote that the lawsuit also
fails to mention any wrongdoing or seek relief from Langford.

The Kappa Kappa Gamma members suing are flinging �dehumanizing mud� in
order to �bully Ms. Langford on the national stage,� the attorney alleged
in the filing.

�This, alone, merits dismissal,� the filing states. according to
Langford�s filing.

The sorority members are seeking to have a judge void Langford�s Kappa
Kappa Gamma membership voided and award unspecified damages.

In March, Kari Kittrell Poole, the sorority�s executive director, said the
members� complaint contains �numerous false allegations,� but did not
specify them.

Kappa Kappa Gamma did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Langford could not be reached for comment.
