I understand what you're saying, but maybe the TKEs on your campus weren't doing the hand sign to mock?

I've seen a lot of chapters do the triangle, even "whiter" chapters and mixed chapters and etc. The triple triangle is the main symbol of TKE, and it has a lot of meaning and symbolism to us, so when we "throw it up" it isn't because we're trying to be like NPHC chapters or mock them.

I can't speak for any other IFC/NPC group though, just my own. And I'm not arguing with the fact that some chapters do it just because they think it's cool or they have wanna-be-downitis ... But in my fraternity, the equilateral triangle has a lot of significance and I don't think the chapters do it to mock.
