Delta Phi Epsilon (DPhiE) has created a membership policy that includes transgender women and non-binary individuals. The sorority is calling for other sororities to do the same.
DPhiE implemented its Trans Women and Non-Binary Gender Policy in 2017. The policy invited non-binary individuals to apply for membership.
"Delta Phi Epsilon welcomes members who identify as women, including transgender women, and gender non-binary individuals, regardless of their sex assigned at birth," the policy said.
In addition, DPhiE allows individuals to use a name and gender pronouns that reflect their identity, whether or not a transgender or gender nonconforming individual has legally changed their name or gender.
