@Soul D-Psi-ple: Dude, you don't have to explain anything. You'll get nowhere, trust me. Sounds like you are cool bein in KKPsi. So keep doin you, and your bruhs will keep doin them. That's why threads like this get so long....doing a lot of unecessary explaining and at the end of the day, real talk, some people are STILL gonna say and think that your org is fake, it's biting off other orgs, etc.

Not an attack on you but chill out. If anybody feel you, I feel you. But I learned a long time ago that it ain't worth it to trip in here off of every little thing...

Sorry, Gamma_girl52, but that's the only real example that I have. I'm not gonna lie about seeing a predominately white chapter of KKPsi because I haven't.

Your words are wise. All Greeks have to deal with some form of criticism and KIM instead of trying to defend it. I'm still learning that to some degree, but I'm not getting into an insult fest over it. I just post my observations.

Well, it's not really my image to post, but I was curious about this whole thing, so I looked up the KKPsi chapter at my undergrad ... here they are, in all their PWI-ness, doing the handsigns ...

ROTFL @ PWI-ness. What a cromulent use of words.

C'mon now, you can't really get us greeks to believe that the members of KKY have party hops and step. Did you see the picture above?

Are you flat out dumb or are you just stupid?

Insults. Now there's a great way to sound intelligent and get your point across.

There was no need to post something intelligent since intelligence wasn't expressed towards me.

Oh, I'm sorry Drummer Boy. I don't want you and your "frats" to grab your instruments and commence to attack me with a battle of the bands.

Anyway, I'm sure that dumb and stupid are the same thing. If you don't believe me, review all of your previous posts.

Ok- I am sooo past this argument in general, but the above made me LMAO!

In other news: this is a cool thread. It's interesting to see all these pics.

Thanks for the documentation. I like learning.

I'm with Soul-D-Psi-ple. I started a chapter of KKPsi. It's a group with ties going back over a hundred years. I know other orgs are old, too, but KKPsi isn't new, we're not copying anybody. I'll admit, we're all band members and geeky ones at that but if we're okay with telling everyone that, I think that y'all making fun of it is a little overkill.

Just because you don't respect KKPsi doesn't mean we don't.

The pic is cute and all, but I seriously doubt that 30 years ago the KKPsi's at Tech were sitting around and said "Hey, we need a handsign!". More than likely they saw another chapter (most likely a HBCU chapter) doing it and adopted it. Still seems like imitation to me.

I just had this vision of them all going to national conventions or something and all the HBCU chapters sitting on one side of the room and all the PWI chapters on the other side and they're all looking at each other like WTH is wrong with THEM?!?! I'm glad there's some amount of unity there.

Quite a few IFC and NPC organizations have almost always had handsigns and calls. They were to be used in certain, mostly more private, settings. The same MAY be for KKPsi. I will be humored regardless.
