We snap, and I think that as a whole, most of Beta Theta Pi's chapters snap.
We've always been told that it dates back to some of the earliest chapters of Beta, those that existed sub-rosa due to anti-fraternity sentiment. Clapping was way too loud and they would have been caught as a fraternity, leading to a number of things - including expulsion from school. I'm not sure that it's entirely true, but it makes sense. I'm also not sure who told me that, but it's something that we learned about very early on.
