Not necessarily so... while the sound of a call may be public knowledge, the meaning behind the call and the proper challenge and response to the call may be esoteric.

Many fraternities and sororities have more subtle ways of recognizing each other when in the presence of non-members: grips and hand signs are the most common, a ritualistic phrase or greeting may be another.
