There are some TKE chapters that "throw up" equilateral triangles with their hands, since the triangle is the main symbol of our fraternity. Some doing it with their index and middle fingers, some with their thumb and index finger (similar to the Delta's handsign).
I can't say ALL chapters do this, but my chapter does the first variation and I know other chapters, like UCF, have variation of the triangle hand sign.
But there a lot of other IFC/NPC groups that have hand signs. Off the type of my head I can recall seeing Phi Sigma Sigma, AOPi, AXiD, Phi Mu, and other orgs that have some kind of hang sign although none of them are official and widespread throughout ALL chapters.
We (TKE) don't have any kind of "call" though and I don't think any other chapter does.
And can I ask whats wrong with that? If I'm not mistaken, hand signs weren't around at the founding of ANY org, NPHC or other, so what's the big deal? And weren't ALL hand signs "made up" at one point? I can understand getting upset over stepping, but hand signs aren't a big deal unless they imitate one that an NPHC org has.
