Local mascots?

[SigKapSweetie]

We use the dove as well. When I was the VPM and trying to put together photos for the video, a few sisters and I decided that we needed a 'sign' like ADPi's four-finger diamond or Tri-Delt's fingers/thumbs triangle, so we told the sisters to start taking pictures with 'hearts and doves' - pointer fingers and thumbs making a heart, with the other fingers fanned out around the heart to make dove wings. I don't know if any other SK chapters do it; our sisters had used the gesture before, but we'd never done it in pictures before that year. Our girls loved it, and every picture taken since then has at least two girls making 'hearts and doves'. Now all the new members think we've been doing it forever. It's amazing how quickly history rewrites itself.

Also, some of our families within the house have their own mascots. I'm in the frog family (DEFINITELY the right place for me! ::ribbit:: ), so pretty much every Christmas/birthday/etc., my littles get me frog stuff.

we also do the heart and dove but we add the triangle. everything else is the same but we put our middle fingers together to make a triangle.
oh yeah...i forgot to mention that my family chose the monkey as our mascot. we used to have two families into one calling it the ellemouse but now my family is one of the biggest in the chapter!!!

I seriously need pictures of this.. soo thumb and pointers make the heart... middle fingers make the triangle and ring and pinkies make the dove wings?

i agree.. i think i need to see a picture of this!! doesn't it clog up the picture and take away from everyone's faces?!

maybe i'm just the resident cynic

As you see in the pics, it doesn't really. I'm glad that we have something! We did once try making sigmas by crossing our middle and ring fingers. But it's hard to do on the fly... so to speak.

We thought about that way too but figured it was a little to gangster! Besides, everyone would assume we were just repping the WESTSIDE!

Well if you yell Sigmas at the same time, I guess it works. But yeah, didn't work. I'll try to spread the Dove and the hearts though

We just started a hand gesture too! The pointer and thumb shape a heart (like yours) but instead of a dove's wings, we put the fingers together to form a triangle. I like the dove idea though. We don't do much (chapter wise) with the dove mascot, but my mom bought me the most beautiful dove charm for my initiation that I love!
