Case of the Handsign

The pic is cute and all, but I seriously doubt that 30 years ago the KKPsi's at Tech were sitting around and said "Hey, we need a handsign!". More than likely they saw another chapter (most likely a HBCU chapter) doing it and adopted it. Still seems like imitation to me.

I just had this vision of them all going to national conventions or something and all the HBCU chapters sitting on one side of the room and all the PWI chapters on the other side and they're all looking at each other like WTH is wrong with THEM?!?! I'm glad there's some amount of unity there.

Quite a few IFC and NPC organizations have almost always had handsigns and calls. They were to be used in certain, mostly more private, settings. The same MAY be for KKPsi. I will be humored regardless.
