A note on Tri Kappa: I assume that, because it was founded at the beginning of the 20th century, the members knew little, if anything, about the KKK.
I know that I've told the story on GC before about how UW-Madison used to have an organization (honor society or fraternal, I don't remember) CALLED the Ku Klux Klan that had no ties to the national group or links to racial issues at all. It was founded in, I think, the 1910s or 20s when little was known about the national KKK. Later in the 1920s, when the KKK became more known, the group here changed their name.
