Here's the list:

1) Kappa Alpha Order (KA) - rumored to be formed as a collegiate sector for the Klan. Evidence - Choice of letters, spiritual founder Robert E. Lee, & use of confederate battle flag.

2) Kappa Sigma - Rumored to be Klansmen's sons. Evidence - choice of letters, souther presence, and supposedly initiation ceremony & small symbols

3) Kappa Kappa Gamma - rumored to be Klansmen's Girlfriends, or Girls of the Klan. Evidence - choice of letters and strong social southern association,

3) Kappa Delta - Rumored to be Klansmen's Daughters,
Evidence - Choice of letters, supposed iniation ceremonies, place of founding.

You forgot Kappa Alpha Psi.

Sooooooooooo any group with a "Kappa" in it are sons/daughters of Klansmen???? Riiiiiiiiiiight.

The whole "strong southern presence" think is a load of garbage too. No organization can help that their chapters in the South are the strongest. I'd venture to say that the South has a pretty strong Southern presence in general and not just in the "Kappa" chapters.
