I'm pretty sure they are the same at every school too. Most southern fraternities aren't like this though.

They are obviously not people that I want to associate with but they still have a right to have their own private organization. Any claim by them of not being racist is a boldfaced lie though.

With all due respect, I take exception with the bolded statement. I happen to know more than a few gentleman of Kappa Alpha Order and I seriously doubt that anyone who has met them would ever consider them racists.

Which chapters are you talking about here?

Naming specific chapters will just get people in - pardon my crassness - some sort of a pissing match. "Shut up." "No, you shut up." So suffice to say that all of the KAs *I* happen to know come from chapters that are located in the South. Including - but not limited to - more than a few Southeastern Conference (SEC) institutions of higher learning. And over different generations as well.

It is quite possible that they happen to be the only members of their chapters that are not racists. However, I find it hard to believe that is the case.
