Inclusive Greek Organizations for Trans Guys

Inclusive Greek Organizations for Transguys

By: Miles Daniel Bilka


In celebration of back to school, here are the most inclusive greek organizations for trans guys!

As Greek life becomes more accepting, trans guy’s opportunities to safely join Greek organizations has only increased. Life in college can be a wonderful place for LGBTQ+ individuals to express themselves and their identities freely. Whether that be through friends, clubs, or greek organizations. During my time in college, I found that joining a fraternity helped me find a sense of belonging.

This list is meant to be a guide and is not all-inclusive. It is my hope that you use this as a starting point to help you discover and navigate the organizations on your campus. I should also mention, just because an organization doesn’t have anti-discrimination policies in place yet, doesn’t mean you won’t be welcome in their space.

Using the tips below, you can navigate what organizations might be the best fit for you.


1. Attend welcome events at the beginning of the semester.

These events are jam-packed with all the organizations found on your campus. This is a great place to check out booths, get free things, and make some friends.

2. Reach out to your LGBTQ+ services office on your campus.

These offices are typically student-run, and a great place to start your search! This office will help you find inclusive organizations that match your interests.

3. Decide what kind of organization you are looking for.

Strictly social? Or are you more interested in a professional or service-based fraternity? Knowing this will help you narrow down your search.

4. Research social media accounts.

Social media is a very good representation of an organization’s values. If you’re not impressed, there are plenty of other organizations!

5. Talk to an older member of the organization.

You can tell a lot from your interactions with current members that have been in the chapter for over a year. To avoid any bias, you should also see how other students react to the chapter that interests you.
