Nonbinary Student Accepted into Sorority, Then Kicked Out By National Headquarters

  • A nonbinary honor student at St. Lawrence University was accepted into a sorority but later kicked out by its national headquarters reportedly due to their identity.
  • The student, Fabián “Fa” Guzmán, launched a Change.org petition demanding reinstatement of their membership, as their chapter sisters support them.
  • Guzmán had been approved by their university and the national organizations of multiple sorority chapters on campus to rush as a nonbinary person.
  • They thrived in the sorority, becoming the chapter’s recruitment chair, but the national headquarters revoked their membership in June.
  • Guzmán alleges that the decision was transphobic and that the national organization threatened to revoke their membership if the story went public.
