My feeling on the signs are: they're harmless. I was an active 30 years ago and we didn't have them, but I don't mind them.
As an adviser, I constantly remind myself that the girls need to have their own sorority experience just as I had mine, and it will not be the same as mine because times change. If hand signs and social media are now the thing, then that is going to be part of it. I'm sure someone who was active 30 years before I was would have been disapproving of something we did or disliked our 80's fashions, big hair, etc. as well.
(So happy that social media was not around when I was an active...)
ETA... some of those fraternity whistles look really complex, and I can read music. I wonder if anyone does those anymore?
