>> Laura: WHEN COLLEGE
STUDENTS JOIN SORORITY THEY DO
IT FOR SISTERHOOD.
THEY DON’T DO IT IN HOPES THAT A
MAN WILL INVADE THEIR PERSONAL
SPACE.
STARING AT THEM SILENTLY.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AT
THE KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA HOUSE AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING.
SIX SORORITY SISTERS SAY THEY
WERE FORCED BY THE NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP -- CHAPTER TO ALLOW
A MAN IN INTO THEIR ORGANIZATION
BECAUSE HE SAYS HE’S
TRANSGENDER.
WHAT COMES BEING INDUCTED IN THE
SORORITY IS UNFETTERED ACCESS TO
THE HOUSE.
HOUSE FOR MEN EVEN FATHERS AND A BOYFRIENDS ARE BANNED FROM BEING
BOYFRIENDS ARE BANNED FROM BEING
ON THE SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS.
LANGFORD HAD ACCESS TO ALL OF
IT.
LANGFORD CHOSEN TO SIT FOR HOUR
ON THE COUCH, LANGFORD STARES
FOR WOMEN WALKING PAST.
ONE SORORITY MEMBER WALKED DOWN
THE HALL WEARING ONLY A SHOWER.
SHE TURNED AND SAW LANGFORD
WATCHING HER.
THE SUIT ALLEGES THAT HE HAS
WATCHED MEMBERS ENTER THE HOUSE
AND SOMETIMES HAD AN ERECTION
VISIBLE THROUGH HIS LEGGINGS.
OTHER TIMES HE HAD A PILLOW IN HIS LAP.
HIS LAP. JOINING ME NOW INTRODUCELY IS
JOINING ME NOW INTRODUCELY IS
THREE OF THE SORORITY SISTERS. HOW DID THIS HIT WHEN YOU WERE
HOW DID THIS HIT WHEN YOU WERE
TOLD THAT MAN WAS TO BE A MEMBER
OF YOUR SORORITY?
>> WE WERE ALL SHOCKED.
ESPECIALLY IN A SPACE FOR WOMEN.
WE JOINED UNDER THE IMPRESSION
THAT IT WAS A SINGLE SEX
ORGANIZATION.
>> Laura: JALEN, I READ THE
ACCOUNTS OF WHAT MADE THE SISTERS OF THE SORORITY
SISTERS OF THE SORORITY
UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT ART ARTEMIS.
WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU THAT MADE
YOU UNCOMFORTABLE?
>> THERE WERE LOT OF
UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS IN THE
SORORITY HOUSE.
WE’RE FIGHTING FOR THE
IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN SPACES AND
WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO BE A
WOMAN.
WE WERE PROMISED THAT WE WILL
HAVE A SISTERHOOD. MEANING ONLY FEMALES.
MEANING ONLY FEMALES.
OUR NATIONAL SORE SORORITY IGNOR
US.
>> Laura: WE REACHED OUTTO THE
KKG NATIONAL CHAPTER.
THEY SAID WE CANNOT COMMENT, IT
CONTAINS NUMEROUS FALSE
ALLEGATIONS.
KKG VALUES DIVERSITY AND DOES
NOT DISCRIMINATE BASED ON CLASS
PROTECTED BY STATE, LOCAL OR
FEDERAL LAW.
CASSIE, I GUESS THEY WERE
RELYING ON FEDERAL LAW HERE.
I DON’T THINK WYOMING HAS STATE
PROTECTIONS IN THIS REGARD.
NEVERTHELESS, LOOKS LIKE THEY
WILL LEAN ON THE FEDS TO WIN
THIS CASE FOR THEM.
>> I DON’T SEE A WAY OUT FOR
THEM.
THEY WANT EVERYONE TO BELIEVE
THAT BEING A WOMAN IS NOTHING
MORE THAN WEARING LIPSTICK AND
PRONOUNS THAT YOU USE.
IT AMOUNTS TO WOMANHOOD.
IT AMOUNTS TO LIFETIME OF
EXPERIENCES.
THAT’S WHAT WE INTEND TO FIGHT
FOR.
>> Laura: ARTEMIS DOESN’T LIVE
IN THE HOUSE.
ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, WAS
GIVEN A WAIVER.
HE DIDN’T HAVE TO LIVE THERE.
WHY IS THIS?
>> WE’VE SEEN EXTREME
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT GIVEN TO
THE INDIVIDUAL.
IT’S DISHEARTENING THAT WHEN
YOU’RE 6’2", 260-POUND MAN
YOU’RE TREATED AS THE VICTIM.
BYLAWS ARE CLEAR.
THIS IS ALL WOMAN’S
ORGANIZATION.
KAPPA WAS FORMED OVER 100 YEARS
AGO TO BE THAT SUPPORT SYSTEM
FOR WOMEN.
SO THEY COULD COMPLETE IN THE
CLASSROOM AGAINST MEN.
WE CEASE TO EXIST.
WE’RE NOTHING MORE THAN IDEA,
SELF-IDENTIFICATION.
>> Laura: HERE’S ARTEMIS BEING
INTERVIEWED ABOUT THE SCHOOL
NEWSPAPER BACK IN OCTOBER.
TALKING ABOUT BEING ADMITTED TO
YOUR SORORITY SAYING, I FEEL SO
GLAD TO BE IN A PLACE THAT
SHARES MY VALUE BUT TO BE IN
SISTERHOOD TO BREAK THE GLASS
CEILING.
DID YOU ALL SIGN UP TO HAVE A
MAN LIVING IN YOUR SORORITY?
>> WE DID NOT.
WHEN I JOINED BACK IN THE FALL
OF 2019.
I WAS PROMISED A SISTERHOOD.
WHICH IS WOMEN.
FOR THAT TO AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE
