Theta opens their mouth and puts their finger the other direction to make a Θ. KD takes their middle finger ring finger and thumb from the right hand and combines them with the ring finger and thumb of the left hand to make a KΔ. Phi Psi does the same as Phi Mu but the left hand makes a psi with the three middle fingers.... need I go on. It does not mean we think we're "gangsta" it's just a fun thing to do for facebook shots.
If you notice, most of the orgs you mentioned were sororities. I agree, if Sigma Nu wanted you to throw a hand sign, we probably would have made one in the ritual book but its probably because a) its harder than hell to make a sigma nu out of hands and b) we already have secret call signs that we dont need a "letter flash"

Leave the hand signs to sororities gents
