Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc has reportedly become the second Black fraternity to institute a ban on transgender members. The ban follows a debate at the fraternity’s annual convention and a subsequent voting and approval process.
It is yet unclear how the ban will be enforced, how many active members it applies to and whether it will only apply to new members or current members. Eric Webb, the director of communications for Alpha Phi Alpha, said, “We have no comment,” when reached by the Guardian.
