Article - New Sorority “Kappa Kappa Kappa” Holds Charity Event

BLOOMINGTON - A brand new sorority has arrived at Indiana’s Bloomington campus, and has already made the first step in becoming a full-fledged member of IU’s Greek community: hosting charity events to keep the IFC happy.

The new sorority established goes by the name of Kappa Kappa Kappa, sometimes referred to as “Tri Kaps” or “White Hoods” for their distinctive white hoodies that have been seen on campus recently.

“We really take pride in our iconic look,” sorority president Jenn Watson said on the girl’s hoodies. “When we walk into an event, and when our girls walk around campus, we want everyone there to know that the KKK has arrived!”

The Tri Kaps are wasting no time with getting the ball rolling on creative and meaningful charity events - although this charity event might be a little more creative than IU’s Greek community usually partake in. Instead of the typical 3K, bake sale, or talent show that have become a staple for Greeks at IU, the KKK is hosting a charity book burning on the front lawn of their house on the Jordan Extension.

“Although the traditional charity events are great for raising money, we wanted to try a creative new way for everyone to help out - bring all your unused or impure books right to the KKK front lawn on Saturday from 12-3, and we’ll add it to our huge pile we’ve already collected!” said social chair Annie Crane. “Just hand everything to one of the White Hoods, and soon enough your formerly undesirable books will be ashes!”

The KKK won’t stop with just the book burning - the activist group of girls currently have plans to take their message of individualism all over campus next weekend with what they are calling their “Midnight White Pride Walk.”

“Around 11:30 on Saturday night of next weekend, we’re gonna gather up some torches, strap on our white hoods and walk through the campus! It’ll be a big way for all the students at IU to see us for who we are. If we have to stick our torches on people’s lawns to get the message of the KKK out, then that’s what we’ll do!” Watson passionately exclaimed.

All proceeds from the book burning and the pride walk will be donated to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s scholarship fund.
