Hand Signs/Symbols

Repeating your main points doesn't make the process by which you came to your opinion less faulty.

I guess it's kind of like speaking louder to someone who doesn't speak your language. It doesn't help the situation, but it makes the speaker think that they are getting their point across better.

Oh well. I was never an effective debater. I just feel what I feel. Thanks for being nice about it!

I'm curious - from a logical perspective, what is it that you find faulty in her logic?

I think she meant the "fans" whoever they are since you can't see the picture.

You're dumb.

Clearly. And Vito isn't even in the NPHC -- he can just READ.

Here is a photo from a Junior Panhellenic social, where all the ladies of Pan PC 2006 got together and had pizza. Everyone is doing someone else's sign. It's not very easy to see, but almost every sign is represented. I'm actually in the back row. I submitted this photo for the Greek Life website and now it's on the front page.

As you can see, most of them are done with two hands so you can do them by yourself or with another sister.

Alpha Xi- the "XI" sign. I am on the left.


ADPi's diamond.


Tri Delta.


Pi Phi's arrow.


Alpha Epsilon Phi- the heart shape I discussed in the above post.


Chi Omega, ironically being thrown by two guys.


Kappa Alpha Theta makes a kite.


Zeta- the crown.


Kappa Delta has one too, the KD, but it's already in this thread.

To my knowledge Kappa Kappa Gamma doesn't really have one, I've seen them making different kinds of K's, but I asked a sister and she told me there's no "official" Kappa sign. One of the ones they do sometimes is being shown by the girl in the front row wearing a black shirt (next to the girl in the Kappa jersey) in the Pan social picture.

We don't have AOPi, but I've seen a picture of the girls from UF making an O with their hands, similar to the heart shape, which I assume represents the Omicron from their name.

ha! i know one ofthose girls in the first pic..we recently became friends on facebook b/c we went to middle school together..she is a new pi phi

as for the "O" sign..sometimes our sisters do that too...we say "put on your 'O' face!"..which apparetnly means throw up the "O"!!

it looks like AEPhi's and ours are very similar..except we put up our index fingers for the "A" and then use the rest of our fingers to make the heart!

^^I think I know that guy for real!!! LOL He went to my high school.

Anyways, both our fraternity and sorority have handsigns(both scriptural in meaning)



The females are holding up the sign language for love and the light skinned dude at the bottom is making Eagle wings with his hands(because the frat is called Eagles, Isaiah 40:31)

I know...

[L.O.C.K.]

Most Asian Greeks have hand signs as well.

[SapphireSphinx9]

here's a link to a previous thread regarding handsigns

i love seeing how a lot of the handsigns are the same, but slightly different - obviously they will have different meanings to each org.

[LOVEinZTA]

I've always seen ChiO and AChiO using 2 or 3 girls respectively to make their letters with their arms/hands (though I suppose the alpha could look like a lambda...)

Then there's DG - I've seen 2 girls where one's making the delta (like tri-delt) and the other makes a gamma with her thumb and index finger, cute stuff!

[FatalDSTination]

All the NPHC have hand signs:


Omega Psi Phi




Kappa Alpha Psi


Delta Sigma Theta
Alpha Kappa Alpha

Alpha Phi Alpha (men) Sigma Gamm Rho (women)




Zeta Phi Beta



Zeta again, w/their brother, Phi Beta Sigma. They both sometime do the "dove" sign



Fianally, Iota Phi Theta and their...um..."fans" I guess, i dont know what to call them, they arent greek though




DISCLAIMER: I dont know any of these people...
