FWIW - I think we *technically* still have a whistle. I couldn't tell you what it is, though.
ETA: I am totally cracking up at all the current actives' comments about throwing away "long-standing" traditions.

I think I have the melody to the whistle in one of my vintage songbooks. Let's bring back the whistle!
I'm with you - I can't figure out how to make the letters out of the hand signal used by actives. I know they're things that you generally can't show to the outside world, but our actual ritual is so beautiful and meaningful, why the need to copy/appropriate things from other groups? Because it looks good in photos? Because everyone else is doing it? I'm so glad I'm not 18-22 anymore.
I'd also be interested in seeing how well ritual is taught and used in chapters nowadays. Even 15-20 years ago, I had people in my chapter complain that it was "too outdated."
