I don't know where I've been but I don't think I've ever seen that before! I'm going to look for a pic to post.
ETA:
Here's a link to a Phi Beta Sigma throwin the Sigma sign. (Epitome, now I recognize it! I didn't know that SGRhos did it though.  )

ETA: Delta Phi Lambda sorority (Asian interest) uses a sign that is similar to Zeta Phi Beta's except that the middle finger crosses the ring finger.
Follow up: Ok, it's a little different than I remember (as I recall, in the original, their fingers were flatter).
Delta Phi Lambda
*Actually, it looks like the Sigma Omega Phi handsign from the first page of this thread.

I LOVE DPhiL! The primary founder, Ahn Nguyen, went to UGA when I was there. I had the pleasure of going to her house and getting to know her and her sisters as well as the gentlemen of LPhiE. She is INTENSE to say the very least! What an awesome woman!!
ETA: She almost had me  but my heart belong to the realm of multicultural Greeks.

I had a chance to meet some of their founders and national officers when they came to expand at my universityl. They are indeed a great group of women! I learned a lot about Asian greeks that weekend.

The GSS Handsign
See, that's why I wish I could have been able to post pics so everybody could have seen it...
But yes, our handsign is identical to PBS and SGRho. I've had MANY a confrontation about it. However, we just respectfully agree to disagree on it  and it's all good.
I am loving this thread too. Keep the pics coming even though I can't post any, LOL.

Delta Gammas do not have an official hand sign, but here are some that you might see often:

the sad legend of lost tradtions
although it is true that Theta Chi had both a hand sign and call, it was deemed offences to the brothers of a certain BGLO and so we stopped doing it as to not cause any trouble. I wish we would have kept it though, how cool would that be, since we have always had brothers of every walk of life. Okay, so I know the call

It's just a theta and a chi, see it? There's some variations on it but that's basically the one they use.
I see it all the time, too...UCF Greeks are obsessed with handsigns.
I don't know anything about calls, but then again I am not a member |
You kick ass!!! thank you
(I changed my name by the way)
