I see no need to use the grip/handshake every day. These are brothers I live with. If I ever had a question as to if a guy was initiated or not, or even affiliated with LCA, I would use the grip, or "password" or whatever. I'm almost 100% sure that the only meeting/ceremony we have that is closed is ritual. There's no need to use it for chapter. Anything involving ritual is closed. To the NPHC members out there, don't think the comments of one person represents the dozens of NPC/NIC fraternities out there. I don't know how you couldn't know your grip. Even if you don't use it often, I would think it would come back to you when you used it.
