Whoa. Bad idea. I recommend ratcheting the 'tude back a bit if you plan on continuing to ask for advice and information here. Tides turn quick 'round here sometimes.

There's a reason why it's "almost" and not "always".
Sororities don't have to take every PNM that walks through the door. Thank God for that.

Sounds like a good Greek school .
If ours was like that, I'd rather not be Greek.

KCSunshine, as others have mentioned in previous threads, you never know who might be reading your posts. While you may have thought it would be cute/silly, it comes across as presumptuous (sp?) and shallow to ask about an "adorable" hand gesture. Some may not think them very adorable. Bottom line--Be careful what you post!
I'm sure you're very excited about upcoming recruitment and I wish you the best of luckthis Fall!

A few years ago an SAI chapter proposed a hand sign. They went through all the appropriate levels; first showing it to advisors, then to the Province Officer, and eventually proposing it to the NEB. The NEB approved the hand sign, so it is condoned by Headquarters, but they are not going to incorporate it into our ritual--thank god.
The way I understand it is--you're supposed to be able to see the Sigma, Alpha, and Iota all in the one hand sign.
As soon as photobucket it back working, I'll upload a picture.

Go to the fraternity recruitment forum and read the thread about rushing at Texas by UTLonghorn2012. He presumed he was headed for a top-tier house, talked all about it on the internet and may well end up lower-middle tier because of it. Don't assume and certainly don't talk big.
And I like the DG anchor salute.

The ZTA crown 'hand sign' is strongly discouraged by our IHQ and most chapters have backed away from using it over the last couple of years.

Because the crown has a deep and lasting meaning for ZTAs and handsigns are not part of our heritage. I know many alumnae that view it as disrespectful. Our magazine, Themis, will no longer print pictures of members gesturing that way, either.
