Because KA is known on A LOT OF campuses (not all!) for their Old South stance. To a lot of people, glamourising the Old South means glamourising slavery and white supremacy. Counting Robert E. Lee as its spiritual founder...
Because almost everyone on this board has a story about seeing KA members wearing very proudly their letters with Confederate Flags. I have never seen a KA shirt without a Confederate Flag on it.
Because KA has been kicked off of at least 5 campuses I know of for doing things which have antagonized members of the minority and enlightened white community.
It's kinda like this...if a fraternity and a math club were both accused of doing the exact same kind of hazing, who would get the most attention from it? You make your own PR. And, for better and for worse, KA has made its own. That said, I have never met a member of KA who has not proven himself a gentleman. I have nothing but good things to say about the individuals I HAVE MET. Zeta Psi is a much less known fraternity, which if I'm not mistaken, is primarily in the North. It was at my school until the membership decided it wanted to go co-ed.
