Kappa Kappa Gamma Expels Two Longtime Members for Backing Lawsuit Against Trans Member
Lawsuit Alleging Trans Member's Inappropriate Behavior Dismissed, Now Before 10th Circuit Court of Appeals
- Two longtime members of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Patsy Levang and Cheryl Tuck-Smith, have been expelled from the sorority after supporting a lawsuit to remove a trans-identifying member, Artemis Langford.
- The lawsuit, filed by six female members of the sorority's University of Wyoming chapter, alleged that Langford had been voyeuristically peeping on them in intimate situations.
- The case was dismissed by a federal judge and is now before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Levang and Tuck-Smith were accused of using private KKG email lists to solicit other members for donations and provide updates to the lawsuit, and speaking to media outlets without the national office’s permission.
- Kappa Kappa Gamma has not publicly shared information about the policy violations that resulted in disciplinary action.
