Honeykiss, you took the first shot here, a la "lynchings, itimidations". Please begin reading your posts before you argue them.

Old South stemmed from the idea of the class and dignity of the "Old South" (i.e. "The Lost Cause") as portrayed in "Gone With The Wind". At the time of the movies release, one chapter, and I cant remember who it was but I want to say Kappa chapter at Mercer held the first "Old Sounth" ball. It began a trickle affect throughout the rest of the Orders chapters. As a southerner, I am proud of the tradition of Old South. I am who I am, and like Lee, I will never turn my back on my home. Its a direct slap in the face to my organization for anyone to equate this dance to any form of racism, especially given the fact that Kappa Alpha Order has banned the use of any confederate trappings from any KA function, in effort to show the people of our country that our organization is not what so many people automatically assume that our organization stands for.
