Since I'm not that far away removed from school, hand signs were really common at my school. Truth be told, my chapter was pretty obsessed with "throwing what we know". I get why people like it and do it- there is a photo of me and my sister doing our respective sorority hand signs on her bid day- but I also get that it's just a current trend and not part of our ritual.

That being said, did there even need to be a blog post about it at all in the first place? I respect Kappa's decision, but there's an easy solution that doesn't require a blog post ripe for drama- just stop posting them, and if asked, explain. There are PLENTY of photos on social media of Kappas posing without a hand sign. Use those photos instead, and skip the ones without the hand sign. For your official publication, put in the submission guidelines that hand sign photos won't be published. There. Done.
