Peace.
No one is taking anything away for these Ladies and since we only have so many fingers to make hand signs, I'm sure there isn't anyway around that.
However, I would hope they did a bit of research when they choose to use that "specific" hand sign to associate with their sorority. Your right, nothing to get desheveled over, but it was an observation on my part.
But if another sorority altered the triangle and used it as a sign that they assocaite their organization with, then I would be a bit take back, because triangle hand signs have been associated with Delta's. We have no "legal" claim over it, but it's a well known fact just like the "Z" of ZPB. Just my thoughts.
