NPHC Greeks - how do you feel about this?

I'm glad you posted this, because I was looking at facebook photos of one of our nearby chapters, and they take line pictures and pictures of them making handsigns wearing crossing jackets. I just don't get it. Your school has both NPHC and multicultural sororities. If you like the way they do things, why did you try to join one of those instead?

And another note, after going through the ASA group, I have found at least four different handsigns- each one from a different chapter. Why are some of them so intent on having one?

Are any of them the one I sugested of setting your hands on fire? No? Damn.

I've not seen this from SKs but that doesn't mean it's not out there. My chapter had jackets, but, like KSUViolet's they're windbreakers or hoodies, not line jackets.

In the handsign thread, I joked that ASAs handsign should be a phoenix. And to be dedicated they should set their hands on fire.

I say it with love, you know that.

I must've missed that thread.

I do think that's kinda weird, but each to his own. I'm of the mind that if you want all that...why not join an NPC or multicultural organization? I guess there might be campuses where that is not offered.

It just seems like Greek plagarism.

I thought this was funny:

White Chicks and Gang signs . . lol

Not simply with reference to ASA, but several NPC groups have a history of using hand signs, so it can only be natural for them to develop one that can be used in public. I don't see hand signs as something that NPC groups "copied" from NPHC; hand signs have been around for centuries.
