I don't think there's a name for those relationships in English other than, "oh, them!" but kinda-cousin sounds much nicer.

She will be such an asset to Sigma Kappa - I'm so glad that she finally decided to go greek!
If I understand correctly, if your uncle is your biological relative, then "SK kinda-cousin" is no less your cousin than his daughter with his first marriage, except you don't have the same relationship because of the age difference. But, if your late aunt is the biological relative, then I guess "kinda cousin" would be the best?

Anyway, yay an SK at Duq, related to honeychile.
