Mississippi Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves took part in his fraternity's Old South parties where members often wore Confederate costumes, his spokesperson confirmed Friday. Republican Reeves, 44, joined Kappa Alpha at the private Millsaps College in Jackson in 1993. Reeves - who has been in statewide office since 2003 - is also pictured in a formal solo photograph from the 1995 yearbook. Those actions and images were offensive to African-American students, and not in line with our values at Millsaps College.' The writer who was recently awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence, wrote opinion pieces including some that said the Confederate flag is racist.
