Nah, i dont think they were mocking. they clearly saw it somewhere, thought it was cool and did it.

ok, point taken, and i will not doubt what it symbolizes for TKE. however its not organization-wide. one chapter may be all for it and another will look at you like WTF? you lose your unity by doing something that, for NPHCs (and multicultural orgs, hell even NPCs that do them nationally) is one (of the many) tie that binds, regardless of the chapter.

again, doing what the other group did but not accomplishing what was accomplished. and to your @ my comment on mimicking community service vs. handsigns. it really wouldnt hurt and id be more flattered if you copied my community services vs. my handsign.

not that nonNPHCs are here to please NPHCs or anything.
