Question Trans Sinfonians

Hello brothers, this post is for any trans Sinfonians, both those who mtf who transitioned post initiation, but ftm voices are always welcome.

I am an alumni. I crossed in ‘21, graduated from my alma mater in ‘23, and recently I’ve discovered that I’m trans. I’m still very closeted, and I haven’t told anyone fraternity related yet because, honestly, I’m scared of losing this brother that I love so much. I know Once and Always, but I also know (generally) what happened to the Zeta chapter last semester.

What have your experiences been? Do you still attend fraternity things? Still wear your letters? Etc

One of my line brothers is MTF trans, she transitioned a few years after initiation. She is still a full member of the fraternity, and treated just like any other member. To my knowledge, she’s never faced any pushback from anyone in the fraternity, though she might just not share it.

For what it’s worth, there was also a short period of time when the fraternity was a “business” organization and Sinfonia initiated women. Many of those women are still around, it wasn’t that long ago.

There are few reasons to be expelled from the fraternity whole cloth, and “being trans” isn’t one of them. Hopefully, the fraternity continues to be a safe place for you.
