And if anyone has any cool hand signs, feel free to share

something that spells KD or something like that....i think.

I have never heard of something like this. My GLO has a secret handshake, but that is the closest thing to it. And I know many GLOs do have secret handshakes- so that is not something that should surprise anyone.

I have never in my life heard that Pi Phi had a hand sign in the manner of the NPHCs.

Never??? Wow...that's kinda odd, but whatever, I guess you only notice it when you do webdesigning & such lol ...Pi Phi is probably one of the easiest to make just in time for pictures...the right hand with the pointer finger out with the thumb = "the arrow"

Yup. We make a KD with our hands. I don't know if I'd call the NPC ones "hand signs," per se, but I know what you mean. I've always liked Zeta's--they make crowns with their hands.

Are there other NPC signs? I've never seen any either, even from the KDs on campus.

Ok, after posting that I saw ADPis in my mom's Adelphian doing their diamond sign. Anyone else? Especially with pictures as I was having trouble understanding the Alpha Xi Delta one.

The way many chapters do it is that they cross their two pointer finger and have their pinkies out to sign Xi.

Or in the case of my chapter the middle and the pointer fingers are crossed to make the X and then the pinky is up to make the Xi as well. Its kinda like the R in sign language but with the pinky out.. I can't find a picture but if I do I'll post it so you can see.

I get it now, thanks!

There's a bunch others done with fingers formed like ZTA's crown, KD's K-Delta, AXiD's Xi, Theta's kite, ChiO's Chi-over-Omega, Tri-Delta's Delta, Pi Phi's arrow, ADPi's diamond, Kappa's K, AEPhi's heart...instead of fingers, DG does theirs with two arms together into an anchor
