One sorority for the first time ever may elect a biological man to be the president of its national organization.
Ousted Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) members are now suing the national sorority for allowing a transgender women into the 150-year-old establishment and possibly electing the biological man and judge, Tracy Nadzieja, to become its first trans president.
“Hon. Tracy Nadzieja is a commissioner for the Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona. She joined the bench in 2018, becoming the first transgender judge in the state,” according to trellis.law.
The lawsuit by the ousted members accuse the sorority’s leaders of breaking rules by allowing trans women to join, fraudulent activity, defamation, and breaches of contracts as well as Ohio’s free speech laws.
“The Candidate has currently applied for, and is being considered for, a position in leadership to be voted on through an on-line election in April 2024,” read the lawsuit, filed Thursday. “This position could include being elected to Fraternity Council or even president of KKG. Most members remain unaware that the Candidate is a man.”
Nadzieja, was accepted by the KKG as an alumna initiate in 2020, making Nadzieja the sorority’s first biological male member.
Furthermore, the lawsuit alleged that Nadzieja was “fast-tracked” to a leadership position within the KKG and was assigned as an advisor at a university chapter, even though Nadzieja never met the qualifications.
“Fraternity Council intentionally concealed this fact from members to ensure the Candidate was elected,” stated the lawsuit.
The lawsuit is now seeking a jury trial, compensation, legal costs, along with an order that would remove the current members in the “Fraternity Council.”
Additionally, the lawsuit references a previous time when the sorority allowed a 21-year-old transgender student, Artemis Langford, to become a member and live in its sorority house. Langford even reportedly made sorority sisters uncomfortable after claims accused the student of being “visibly erect” around the house and of “peeping” on the girls when they would have romantic relations with their boyfriends.
During the admission, six members challenged allowing Langford into the sorority, claiming Langford’s presence made them uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, a U.S. District Court dismissed the case last year, claiming the sorority could choose its own definition for “what a woman is.” However, the ruling has been appealed.
A vote is expected to take place in April for Nadzieja being elected to a leadership position in the sorority.
