ex. Kappa Kappa Kappa is in no way related to the Ku Klux Klan and is established in the North, rather then the South as another definition states.

Get the kappa kappa gamma mug.Kappa is one of the most exclusive and popular sororities around. Kappas are known for being classy, sweet, and smart, if not a little spoiled and proud (hence the nickname Visa Visa Daddy Mastercard). But we can also party with the rest of them and keep it down to earth. We're the good girls, as in bad girls who don't get caught. Either way, Kappas are charming and cute with a taste for adventure to match anyone's.
A few famous Kappas:
Ashley Judd
Kate Spade
Charlotte from Sex and the City!
Nancy O'Dell
Gretchen Carlson (Miss America, 1989)
We keep it classy!
