Some Jackson fraternity members were disciplined for wearing afro wigs, Confederate battle flags and shouting racial slurs at black students in 1994
Millsaps put Kappa Alpha and Kappa Sigma on social probation from November 1994 to March 1995 and ordered members to take sensitivity classes
His spokeswoman didn't say whether Reeves had connection to the 1994 events
Statement said: 'Like every other college student he did attend costume formals'
She explained: 'Kappa Alpha's costume formal is traditionally called Old South in honor of the civil war veteran who founded the fraternity in the 1800s'

Reeves has openly remained a supporter of the Confederate flag
Millsaps told DailyMail.com in a statement they've eradicated use of 'Old South' and said the decision to publish offensive images was a 'mistake'
