FWIW, I thought these signs were stuff that we learned in secret and they're supposed to be kept that way. I remember driving on I-55 from school back to the northern Chicago 'burbs when I was an undergrad back in the Dark Ages. As I headed home I heard a car honking next to me.
When I looked @ the next lane, I saw a brother from another chapter flashing the aforementioned sign & shouting, "Good to see ya, bro!" (he spotted my letters in the rear window of my '65 Falcon). This was sort of a surprise, since I'd only been initiated for a short time & was surprised to see this public display of something that I thought was...well, known to brothers only.
In the last few years I've noticed more guys flashing the sign in photo opps. Evidently, IHQ's okay w/it...
