"Old South" is a tradition in some (mostly Southern) KA chapters. As adduncan said, it is a cotillion in ante-bellum (or, for the guys, Confederate soldier) attire.
There is no question that KA has both a history and a reputation as a "Southern" fraternity, in many senses of the word, which has led to stereotyping of the Order. (This is why the fraternity has forbidden the display of Confederate flags in chapter houses or at chapter functions, or in connection with the name Kappa Alpha.) That is all the more reason for these guys to have thought about their actions a little more.
