Hand signs: "Throw down!"

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.

It certainly is!

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.

[Pessimist Null]

we had one, and a call, at a few chapters, it was more of regional thing that died down for us in the 30s.

I wish I knew what they were. I would use them. Daily.

The girls from UF taught us how to make a "quatrefoil" with our hands at State Day 2006. It's cute, but difficult to do, especially in a hurry for pictures.

It's my understanding that Kappa does not have a nationally recognized hand sign. When I was in college and Kappa colonized at UCF, the rho gammas created a hand sign for them. I've seen it done as a K (similar to KD's, but minus the left hand/delta) or as a sign language "k". Although, I'm not a Kappa and I'm sure one of those lovely ladies could probably give you a more accurate answer.

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"

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

Really sounds complicated?

I know the Shocker, LXA's that is not sanctioned, and The Hawian Peace Sign.

Is some of them like the Light show going to shadows on the wall?

Well, women are more disjointed than men.
