Grant, a transgender individual, was rejected by all 20 University of Alabama sororities during the rush process, sparking a debate on whether he should have adopted a different name like Grace. The hosts argue that these organizations are based on biological sex rather than gender identity, criticizing the societal conflation of the two while noting Grant's documented outfits from brands like Lulu and Shein. Ultimately, the episode highlights the rigid exclusionary practices within Greek life, suggesting that such institutions prioritize biological criteria over gender identity despite claims of inclusivity.

Grant Joins Twenty Sororities00:03:33
Hi guys, it's Grant Hi guys Hi guys.
So Grant's trying to join a sorority at University of Alabama.
Try like 20 of them.
All 20.
Why did she try all 20?
You should have got the hen after five.
Yeah.
You went to 10, you went to 15, you went to 20.
Yeah, and your name's Grant.
I would think the first thing you would do before you try to join a sorority is change your name from Grant to something like Grace.
Yeah.
You can't walk into a sorority and say, hi, everyone, my name's Grant.
I want to join.
I know your gender is female.
I know you're a biological male, but your gender's female.
But, you know, this is...
Oh, fuck it.
This is...
Everything's been based on sex, not your gender.
It used to be on both.
Yeah, it used to be because gender and sex used to be synonymous.
But you guys screwed all that up.
So it's based on sex.
Now it's totally two different things, gender and sex.
Totally two different things.
Now y'all actually conflating gender and sex.
Yeah.
That's why you got men competing against females.
Yeah.
That's why we have you, Grant, trying to join sororities.
Yeah, well, I'm going to show you like, it was like Grant kept a blog of him trying to join a sorority.
Yeah, he was sharing outfits, huh?
Daily Journal.
Yeah, he was giving like a daily journal showing his outfits and the process he was going through to join a sorority.
So check it out.
OOTD, Bama Rush, day one, convocation in open houses today.
And this is what I'm wearing.
So the skirt is from Lulu.
It's the new pink edition.
My shoes are Air Force.
My shirt is from Shein.
It's the really, really cute one.
That's like, everything's going to be okay.
And my jewelry is from all over the place.
And yeah, and my hair and makeup is done by yours truly.
So, hey, y'all, it's Grant.
Today is day five of Alabama Rush.
And it is the first day of Sisterhood Round.
I'm so excited.
I cannot wait.
So I'm going to give you guys an OOTD.
Uh-oh.
This is from Hello Molly.
Woo!
Much Hello, Molly.
Hey, y'all, it's Grant.
Today is the...
I'm lucky here at the University of Alabama.
So I don't have.
I still wanted to do an OOTD because I already have everything picked out for every single day.
And so everyone's schedules are different.
And so that's just how it works.
Hi, guys.
It's Grant.
Today was pref round.
And I got a phone call this morning and I was cut.
It is extremely upsetting and I'm sad because I wanted to be a part of a sisterhood and more than that, a community.
And, you know, it's kind of just, I keep on waiting for my Rokai to call me and be like, just getting could bring it on to bid day tomorrow because tomorrow's bid day.
I don't even know what to say.
I know how you feel, Grant.
Still waiting for Hillary Clinton to get arrested, but don't seem like that's ever going to happen.
Hey, Grant, why don't you just...
I'm joining a fraternity, man.
Yeah, I'm sure the guys will find something useful for you to do with them.
A Strong Transgender Female00:02:26
I'm sure you have way more fun with the guys than the females.
Yeah, you might even run into a couple guys that like to play pretend just like you.
You seem like a very, very nice transgender female.
No, you seem like a very good person.
Yeah.
You seem nice, right?
Seem like a really good person.
You don't seem like one of these combative transgenders.
Like, I'm fighting for my rights.
You didn't come off like malicious gay.
Malicious.
You know, you just got some malicious gay people out there.
You didn't come off malicious.
You seem like a genuinely good person.
Yeah, you just don't want to live as a guy.
You want to live as a female.
Which is fine.
I mean, I mean, it's your, you have every right to do so.
It's your, I mean, this is a free country, but you're conflating gender with sex.
And those two terms are totally different.
They do not mean the same thing anymore.
Yeah.
Why?
Because people like you.
I mean, I can see like, I don't know how you went through 20.
You like one, two, three, four, five.
Okay, I got 15.
You got 15 more.
Good luck, Grant.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
What's going on?
11, 12.
Hold up, hold up.
Come on now.
I got eight more.
I got seven more.
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
All right, I got one.
Ah, fuck.
Why did you put yourself through all that torture?
Yeah, it's got to be like, for a transgender female, you got some big balls on you.
You went through all 20 sororities, man.
Could you imagine like something comparable?
Like, I couldn't imagine going up to 20 women asking for the phone number and they all just, I would take my hair and bash it into this damn table.
Or trying out for 20 basketball teams.
I'm committing suicide after the third one.
But you hung in there.
You hung in there and went to all 20 sororities?
You got the right temperament.
Man, you are a strong transgender female.
I give you that.
I give you that, Grant.
You're definitely not a quitter, man.
You a soldier.
You are an LGBTQ soldier, man.
And you don't look half bad in black.
And for a transgender female, I ain't going to go there.
