I certainly hope so. This is campus specific, but I just realized what this reminds me of....putting scroll numbers on jackets. Ugggh. One of the fraternities did it because their scroll numbers DO mean something amongst themselves, and then the sororities just started doing it because it was a cool fraternity. I came back and saw all this and was like funk da whaaa???

If you do something, you should be able to explain why you're doing it and where it came from. "I saw it online" is not a suitable answer. I'm fairly sure that groups who do have signs from back in the day have a reason to explain it, much like AZTheta's explanation of her group's whistle above.
