Thank you for the correction! That's what I thought at first and then I looked at the picture and it looked like it was middle finger extended. National Kappa Delta would LOVE *that* in some pictures. :D

For example, for a motion for Shoulder to Waist diagonally (like a royal sash), Handshape of C = Christ
Handshape of K = King
Handshape of Q = Queen
Handshape of P = Prince/Princess
Handshape of E = Emanuel

So you'll see the letters from fingerspelling a lot...

Are hand signs really that new to all of Greek life or am I misinterpreting the thread? I know every sorority on my campus has one and I guess I thought it's always been that way. But, hey... I'm a PNM so I could be totally wrong.
