Transgender woman rejected by every sorority at U. of Alabama: 'I’m sad because I wanted to be a part of a sisterhood'



A transgender woman was rejected by every sorority at the University of Alabama during student recruitment, the New York Post reported, citing social media posts from the student in question.

What are the details?

Grant Sikes earlier this week wrote on Instagram about being passed over by each of the college's nearly 20 sororities.

“Unfortunately, this chapter is closed. This recruitment journey is over for me,” Sikes wrote. “Being dropped from my last house this morning during primary recruitment at the University of Alabama doesn’t come as a surprise considering out of the almost 20 chapters ... I was dropped by every single one except 2 before day 1.”

Sikes added, "I’m hopeful of a future where everyone is welcomed for just being themselves — everywhere. If you are going through a hard time today, remember that life is too short to ponder on the things lost. Choose happiness & always look for the positive things throughout life. Move on. See the good. See the bad. Hope for the best. Brave the worst.”

Sikes received nearly 36,000 likes for the Instagram post as of Wednesday morning.

In a TikTok video, Sikes called the unanimous rejection "extremely upsetting" and added that "I’m sad because I wanted to be a part of a sisterhood and, more than that, a community.”


The TikTok video got a decidedly bigger reaction, garnering nearly 190,000 likes and more than 6,300 comments since it was posted earlier this week.

In fact, Sikes' TikTok videos documenting the recruitment journey got millions of views during Alabama Rush Week, the Post said.

The paper added that Sikes isn't the first transgender student rejected from a Greek Life organization, noting that Adam Davies was rejected by all 12 sororities at Northwestern University in 2017.

Anything else?

Commenters on Sikes' above TikTok video offered a variety of reactions:

  • 'I'M PACKING MY BAGS & HEADING TO ALABAMA," one commenter wrote. "I’m ready to riot."
  • "Can I say genuinely as a queer person [who] went through Greek life, it’s is extremely homophobic and not a safe space," another commenter wrote. "You deserve better!!!"
  • "Y’all better keep this same energy for all the other girls that got cut!" another commenter told fellow commenters. "Nothing against Grant, but there are plenty of other girls in the same spot."

'He worked until the very end': Producer Bo Snerdley on the last days of RUSH LIMBAUGH



Rush Limbaugh was the most listened-to voice on the radio in the world, but few knew him as well as his producer and sidekick, James Golden, better known as Bo Snerdley. Bo was there with Rush from the beginning to the very end and tells the incredible saga in his new book, “Rush on the Radio: A Tribute from His Sidekick for 30 Years.”

Bo joined Glenn Beck on "Glenn TV" to recall how it all started and tell the stories Rush left untold: What happened after President Trump gave him a Presidential Medal of Freedom, what his final days were like, and who the next Rush Limbaugh might be.

"We didn't know it was going to be the last few days. We didn't. I mean, Rush's bucket list was his audience. And so every, Glenn, every single day that he could be there, that he wasn't in treatment, that he wasn't suffering from the effects of treatment, he came to work. And when the mic went on, I I'm telling you, you would not even think the man was was fighting any kind of an illness, because he had the same upbeat presentation. He was just as witty as ever, was as prepared as ever. It was only afterward, Glenn, when there were days he could barely get out of the chair after doing his show," Bo told Glenn.

"We didn't know that his last show was his last show ... he worked until the very end," Bo added.

Rush Limbaugh issues plea for Americans to re-elect Trump: 'This is not the old 'Republicans versus Democrats ... It's serious, and it's scary'



Rush Limbaugh on Monday issued a passionate plea to Americans to re-elect President Donald Trump on Nov. 3.

The longtime conservative commentator announced last week that his Stage 4 lung cancer is terminal.

What are the details?

In a video filmed in the 69-year-old's home library, Limbaugh reaffirmed his support for Trump just moments before Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation.

“Hey, folks, sitting here in the library getting ready to watch the confirmation vote — Amy Coney Barrett, Supreme Court — and it just reminds me: Folks, we don't have a choice in this election," Limbaugh began. “It's got to be Donald Trump."

Limbaugh pointed out that the 2020 presidential election is especially important because the Democratic Party simply isn't what it used to be.

“We're not going to have the kind of country everybody thinks we're going to have," he predicted. "This is not the old 'Republicans versus Democrats,' where we all have the same objectives, just different philosophies on how to get there. They do not have those objectives any more. Their purpose is to erase the Constitution, start over rewriting it, eliminating the concept of 'The citizen has rights which prevail over government.'"

Limbaugh continued, pointing out that the notion is frightening at best. “It's serious, and it's scary, and we don't have a choice," he insisted. "You have to get out there and vote Trump."

Limbaugh added, "It's got to be Trump ... we've got to be America."

What else?

Following his admission that his lung cancer has taken a turn for the worse, the conservative commentator pointed out that he's heavily relying on his Christian faith to endure until it's time to go home.

"I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ," the host said during last week's broadcast. "It is of immense value, strength, confidence. And that's why I'm able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it's meant to."

"There's some comfort in knowing that some things are not in our hands," Limbaugh added. "There's a lot of fear associated with that, too. But there is some comfort. It's helpful to be able to trust and to believe in a higher plan."
