Rochester Institute has a lot of deaf students and a Greek system. It would be worth asking them if you're really interested. Since the hand signs are generally 2-handed, I don't really see that as an option, but spelling out an entire 3 letter sorority seems like a nuisance too. And since there isn't an English equivalent for a Xi, you'd have to spell out at least that part for us. Hmmmm. That is a head scratcher. But thinking back over the letters, you COULD do an X and an I with one hand simultaneously. It makes it unique, not confused with other letters, and is doable with one hand. It's awkward and makes my hand hurt, but it can be done!

NPC hand signs are usually two-handed, but I think the hand signs of most other GLOs -- at least those who have them -- are typically one-handed.

There is at least one NPC and one NIC organization at Gallaudet University, according to their web page.

Seems nowadays most NPC have their new members learn something about other NPC orgs, so perhaps they have developed something?
