Here's a few things I've learned and still hold on to...
1. Never do someone else’s hand signs, even if dissing, if necessary modify to appear similar, but NEVER put up someone’s hand signs.
2. Never, ever, ever touch another Greeks paraphernalia, even with permission.
3. When another organizations national/regional song is on, you do not stroll or obstruct them in any way.
4. Never argue with another Greek in public.
5. Never call a Sigma Gamma Rho a “Rho”, a Delta a “DST”, or an AKA an “AKah” (seen as very disrespectful where I’m from).
6. Train only if you’re an Alpha, Hop only if you’re a Que, Shimmy only if you’re a Kappa, and Triple step only if you're a Sigma.
7. Even if an unofficial bond exists, never refer to an AKA or Delta as “soror” (as far as KAPsi is concerned).
8. Never wear more than one piece of pari.

Responding to the topic at hand:
1) hand/arm signs are a relatively recent phenomenon and unofficial. So any rules applied to them are also unofficial. But I understand the intent of not dissing another orgs sign.
2) Not touching nalia? So if I have on a DST shirt I can't hug somebody?
3)What do you mean by national/ regional songs? Our official songs are not to be done at a party anyway.
4) But it is okay to argue with them or point out their fallacies on a public message board?
5) I am a DST. Nothing wrong with that.
6) Any don't do steps for the sororities?
7) I do agree that only my sorors should call me that.
8) I wear a pinky ring and an ankle bracelet all the time and sometimes I even put on a necklace, a pin, or a t-shirt. And at a chapter retreat we are naliaed down. What is more important is wearing 'nalia in good taste.
