Now that is an interesting fact and does make sense.

Now, calls with handsigns are made all the time. During parties and picnics and strolls. Anytime.
At least for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. none of these actions are "official ritual" sanctioned by our International body. And I will be the first ear piercing, high pitched sounding member of my Sorority that will make a call when overcome with sisterliness in a public setting. And since I had deep in my heart for my letters for nearly 2 decades, I feel I can have right to call and sign it whenever I feel it within discretionary limits. As an adult, I know what those are.
