Celebrities flashing sorority signs
 

.

Hah! I wonder how they convinced the celebs later in the list to flash the signs without any of the ladies present.

Since Theta Phi Alpha wasn't represented in the list, I'll just leave this here.

Wow.

It wouldn't be hard for Luke Bryan - his wife's an ADPi, and he does have the song Sorority Girl!

Sorority Girl

Not sure what you mean, but ours is the Diamond, from 1851. I know that it's been used since the late 1960s.

Why is Chuck Norris doing the Alpha Chi Omega sign, instead of Delta Delta Delta??

Turncoat!

what the heck is that finger in the mouth one?

To the great distress of many Thetas, the finger sideways across the mouth is supposed to be a Theta sign :(

While I agree that calling pledges babies is obnoxious, I think HQs need to take some of the diatribing they're doing on that and transfer it to this hand sign ridiculousness.

A popular Theta hand sign that I've seen is actually the ASL sign for vagina, and I don't the girls doing the sign are aware of that.

I don't mean to use one sorority as a specific example, but I kept seeing girls on my campus do it this year and it made me cringe every time.

The Kardashian one slays me. Kourtney should know better since didn't she go to ASU? Khloe's is so wrong it's hilarious.

And the Phi Sig flashing the sign that AOII and SK use. I feel like all three groups need to get together and come to an understanding. New signs all the way around if needed.


[Old lady voice] In my day and on my campus, most groups had signs. A couple sisters and I were constantly trying to figure out how to make a Sigma. It never occurred to us to do the heart/dove/triangle thing. Which I count as a serious fail on my part.

Pi Phi and Kappa were the only other groups that didn't have "go to" moves at the time.

I can't tell is this is actually ours or the same as the 2nd picture on the link (with the Chase Rise background).
On one hand, I'm such a HP fanatic that I'm pumped at the idea of it being TPA, but on the other hand, it's Draco Malfoy.... and you know. . Slytherins aren't worthy of repping TPA.

I recognized most of the symbols but the one I just referenced is unfamiliar to me.

Incidentally, I looked at those pics again and except for Khloe and Chuck F'ing Norris, I have no clue who any of those "celebrities" are.

LOL. I'm mad that I actually did the "old lady voice" when saying this. Doh!

Yeah, AOII tries to standardize ours. It should be easily distinguishable from the Sigma Kappa hand sign. The index fingers touch to make an A with the other fingers making the heart. It's supposed to be Alpha Love. You guys do a heart with the index fingers and thumbs then have the other fingers flared out like wings. Basically the opposite of ours.

It's from his appearance at Murray State University. A couple comments on the Facebook photo claim it as DZ, which doesn't exist at Murray State. And if they're trying to do the DZ sign, they're really messing up the zeta half.

Yes, the finger horizontally across the open mouth (to symbolize a Theta) has been actively discouraged by Theta HQ.

Yes, it is well known that the ASL sign for vagina is the same as making a kite shape with the thumbs and index fingers. That sign seems to have fallen out of favor most places.

Now I'm seeing Thetas making a K, A, and Theta with their fingers, using both hands. I can't even describe it. It's like some crazy contortionist act.

It's dumb. Dumb. DUMB. All of it. (in my loudest old lady voice, for DrPhil's benefit).

It looks more like the AGD had sign to me.

Except for all the chapters that have the index fingers touch to form a triangle above the heart. ;)

"Theeeeeeeeeeese kids these daaaaays don't know how to do a handsign!!"

?? I cant even figure out how to make that work....

Partway through my time in college, my chapter really wanted a sign, and found "shooting the arrow," which is just pointing your hands upwards diagonally. I'm about 95% certain it's supposed to go a certain direction, but I'm directionally challenged and never remember which. But, it's a pretty common thing to do, so you can find lots of celebrities "repping" Pi Phi.

For instance, here's Dean Winchester "shooting the arrow":

There's also some business about linking hands and forming wings, as well as "haloing" girls below you in a picture.

Dean Winchester can do anything as far as I'm concerned!

No one has a hand sign like that. Phi Sig apparently is supposed to make the heart with the index finger and thumbs with the other fingers together above making a pyramid. They get in trouble when they flair the fingers which makes it look like the SK hand sign.

Stolen from FB. Here's a pic of 4 SKs flashing both versions. The one on the left is doing what AOIIAngel described. The other two are doing what I described. eta: That chapter consistently does the signs on the right. I think the girls on the left just failed to connect.

eta: After doing some google image search for AOII hand sign I'm finding way more variety on the positioning of the fingers. Some flair, some close the fingers and rotate to emphasize the "A" part. Some only raise the index fingers for the "A" and use the rest of the fingers in the heart part.

:D None of it's that serious. Can't believe I just spent more than five minutes on this.

It's definitely an Alpha Gam that I follow on tumblr, she's from the Zeta Nu chapter!

You're one up on me. I'm actually quite content that I wouldn't know a Kardashian if she walked in and introduced herself.

You would if she walked in backward. I kill me.
