Um actually Finer Woman, this has happened with every historically white GLO on Howard's campus. Phi Sigma Pi has line names, numbers, calls and hand symbols. Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Phi Omega have line names and numbers. Even Pals have a call and hand symbol now. Student government has calls. Specific floors in the Quad make strolls. Clearly organizations and even individuals on Howard's campus absorb certain aspects of Greek life and make them their own. So if Pikes at Howard make up calls, strolls, line names/numbers and hand symbols, they would not be the first historically white or non-NPHC organization to do so by a long shot...
