They do not wear the letters KKK at all. They only say "Tri-Kappa" and they only wear the words"Tri Kappa" spelled out. It's more like the first name of the sorority is Tri and the second is Kappa.
Like I said, I personally couldn't join a group with that name based on where I currently live but maybe if I was living in Indiana and everyone I knew was in it and I saw all the good they did, maybe.....I could get over it.
And I am sure they love their name and their sorority just like you love yours. you wouldn't want people telling you to change your name because it's too close to XO would you? Of course not

But there is a difference-- I wouldnt be insulting anyone by being a Chi O. They werent formed and dont act purely out of hatred for people who arent like them. Its a HUGE difference. I guess people in Indiana dont care? But I dont really care about the Tri-Kappa name, since I'd never move to Indiana or be a part anyways.
(and people DO mix AXO and XO all the time, especially if they went to a school with no AXO. And on my own campus we get mixed up with APO since we dont have XO.
