Hand Signs/Symbols

Here at USF we do "alpha love" (forming a heart with our hands) for AOII and for example, ZTA does the crown, Tri-Delta forms a delta with their thumbs and index fingers..etc etc. So my question is..are the hand signs/symbols the same for every chapter at different schools? Or does every chapter have a variation on the signs? Share yours if you'd like!

Her point exactly.

We do 'hearts and doves'. I think there was a thread on this somewhere else, but I can't remember where, and my innate laziness prevents me from searching for it.

Not all chapters do them, but I love the pictures of the heart and doves that some SigKaps do (and I intend to spread them)
I've also seen pics of ADPis doing a diamond and others... look at the search results down there V (That's an arrow)

My chapter never did handsigns. Only recently did a sister from the south show me some of them. I thought that they were neat.

LMAO........but seriously dont compare the two because you can't. If you knew the history of gangs and how they orginated then you would not have made a comment like that and it would not have got second. The Crips for example did not start off being an organized crime group it was more of brotherhood, and builing men out of boys in a time where there were no father figures to be found. Look up gangs, you will not find the ones with hand signs bielve that. I don't want to get on a soap box so I will let you educate yourself on that issue.

Phi Mu

I have never seen any Phi Mu's using any time of handsign, but then again making a quatrefoil (our symbol) or a lion (our mascot) would probably be pretty difficult to do. If anyone out there is clever enough to figure out something, I'd love to see it. I always thought the ADPi's diamond that the girls make with their hands was the cutest thing on earth and am jealous we don't have something similar!

There was an old "post a picture of your handsign" thread where a Phi Mu claimed that she had been shown how to make a quatrefoil once. I don't know if this is really physically possible, but I would also love to see it!
