The announcement gave no explanation for the decision, and Tom McGuire, director of communications at the university, declined to provide one.

Tau Delta President Reyana Bates, a senior studying public relations and communication, said the decision to become a gender-neutral sorority began in 2014 when a member came out as transgender. At the time that member joined Tau Delta, they identified as a female. But as they were coming into their identity as a man, they and other members expressed worries that they would be excluded from the chapter.
