Wait....why don't you know that your sorority might have a call?

Because it might not be ritual, and it might be something that one chapter made up.....

Interesting side note: when I was at CIFC, i learnt that the 'Oiii!" at the end of the Pat Song (kappas will know it) has turned into a recognition call at at least one Kappa chapter (aka you would do it in a group to find your sisters).

I thought that was very cute.

Ahhhhh. Never heard of that before. Makes sense though.

Yeah, that's one thing I think is fun in meeting AXiDs from other chapters -- they usually know cheers and calls that we don't, and we exchange them.
I tried to think of an SAI one but the only thing I came up with was
"Who am I?"
"SAI!!!"
Which is admittedly pretty dumb and also not grammatically correct...

Good luck finding one!

For sairose,

Here's one of your sister's chapter sites, the Theta Xi Chapter at Bethune-Cookman College. The SAI handsign is all over this page so you can take a look.

Theta Xi Chapter

The sorority call wasn't on there, but trust me they do have one.

GSS is the same way--we have a handsign and call, but not all of our chapters use it/know it. To be frank many of our AA chapters (including mine) use it more often and that may be the case with SAI too.

Hey, thanks for the info! But I tried to go to their site but looks like that's not the right link.

I'll try again though.

I just tried it and it's back up now.

Click on "Pictures"

I forgot to throw that in there.

ack, too much bandwidth again.

Most handsigns have a meaning so you should find out from your sisters at another chapter what it is.

Actually, lots of them don't - or not a secret meaning. For example, I know a couple Gamma Phi chapters that will make their chapter name with their hands - Gamma Gamma, Epsilon Lambda, Delta Delta, etc. All that means is the chapter - not so secret.

It is not necessarily secret. It varies from sorority to sorority. The meaning for my handsign is only known by it's members. Well, we have two but the new one is the one we use the most because we revamped the sorority. The old one was just a Z with our hands and that is not a secret since our first letter is Z and we are known as the Zetas.

You asking about chants? Well I will tell you that the hook on Lil Jon's "Get Low" song ain't necessarily something he made up. Sigmas(Phi Beta Sigma) have been doing that "Window's to the wall" chant for the longest.

Wow! This is old!! Has anyone figured out what the SAI call is? By the way, that "Windows to the Walls" chant is a Kappa chant where I'm from.

Zetagymnast · #30 05-21-2004, 09:55 PM

Yea, I been hearing alot of drama surrounding that song. Who has the details?
