The Dartmouth fraternity of Tri Kap was founded in 1842, before the Klan started in 1865 (though that would be difficult to list on a resume). But the sorority of Tri Kappa in Indiana was founded in 1901, so I don’t get that.

I do. Even now, there are Indiana folks who are VERY proud of their Klan affiliation. I can't imagine it would have been much different in 1901.
(Yes, I'm a Hoosier. No, I didn't go to IU.)

There are generally viewed as being three eras for the Klan, the first from founding in the 1870s to the 1890s, the second sparked by the movie Birth of a Nation in the 1920s and the third from the Civil Rights era until today. 1901 would have been a relative nadir for the Klan, so I'll take them at their word. They certainly don't seem oriented that way today.

huh? what? Please clarify the bolded. Thanks.
I don't know what your sources are for "Klan era". Hopefully not Wikipedia.
Not sure there's ever been a nadir for the KKK. Going underground =/= nadir.
