I have a [nerdy] interest in heraldry, so I have some hunches, but I guess I'll never know...

Now, now . . . an interest in heraldry is never nerdy!

MysticCat types as he looks at the heraldry books on his bookshelf.

Any chance you have a (nerdy) interest in vexillology, too?

I know the handshake of a certain sorority..an ex-member at my work asked me to hold out my hand and then she just did it..i had no idea what she was doing because it was just so random! Then she told me it was XYZs handshake...lets just say she was a bitter ex-member and I guess by breaking the rules and showing me it would make her feel better.

She is lame and probably crazy.

Somewhat, though not as obsessive as my heraldic interests.

Interestingly enough, I found an old version of The Quarterly online with an article written by a Sigma Chi about the Armorial Bearings of The Delta Chi Fraternity where he describes the heraldic principles of our Coat of Arms without knowing the significance behind them. Its very interesting to see how traditional heraldry matches up (or doesn't) with Ritual.
