Hand signs are for gangs.

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.

we had one at a few chapters, also a call, but those are long, long gone

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.

I've never seen any handsigns for ASA, although if someone wanted to attempt a palm tree I'd like to see it.

I'd be more impressed with a Phoenix.

The palm tree woud be easy - left hand palm toward you with your index and middle finger straight up together. Right hand palm out, fingers spread. Put your left hand with your fingertips touching the middle of your right palm. Your right hand is the top of the palm, your left index/middle fingers are the trunk, and your left hand is the island the palm is always sitting on in the pic. (ok, so it's lame, but you could do it that way).

Star & crown would be easy...
As Daisy said, no idea what you would do for the Phoenix.

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.

I'd rather not read the whole thread, I only wanted to clear up one statement that was made nothing more nothing less. new or not, dont compare hand signs to gangs signs. Nuff Said!!!! "A wise man said don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who".

If you don't want to read the whole thread, then why comment? Generally, the subject of a thread changes rapidly, and when you don't read the whole thing, your comment comes out of left field.

Hand signs are most definitely considered a symbol of gang membership. It's a "gansta" thing, ask any policeman if you don't believe it. God only knows why middle-class college kids would emulate such behavior. Just don't give those signs in neighborhoods like South Central L.A. or East New York in Brooklyn.
