Let me say first, I have no experience with the 25/52 fam. But I do have some comments on this thread.

Maybe some things are superficial to you, but they may not be superficial to others.
It really kind of ticks me off when someone tries to tell me how to feel about my sorority and its symbols. And then to make a comment about someone's self esteem?! There are many things about Ideal08 that are unique to her, and to have someone "copy" it would tick me off (hair styles, clothes, etc.). It's not about my self-esteem, it's about having your OWN style.
Hand signs, calls, colors, those things may not make up our orgs, but they are still a part of the org. And they are just as important (at least to me) as the service that we provide.
Maybe it's superficial to you because these things have no (as Doggystyle put it) historical basis to you. They don't MEAN anything to you. And if it's so superficial, then why do you want to take part in it? Like twirling your blue and gold cane? If you are just doing it to exhibit talent, why not a baton?
