Calls and Hand Signs

Immaturity is for children not adults. How did we get here anyway. The question was in regards to origin, not about who can tell theres or if they know theirs.

Really? Then disaffiliate from your sorority...

I think in terms of no. of actual initiates:

For the NPHC sororities: Alpha Kappa Alpha

For the NPC sororities:
Chi Omega, Tri Delta, Delta Zeta and then Kappa Kappa Gamma
(unsure about the exact order, but I believe this to be fairly accurate).

Also, there is a non-college sorority called Beta Sigma Phi, and it is supposed to be enormous, in terms of no. of initiates.

Hope this was helpful.

Your information is incorrect. Delta Sigma Theta is the largest black sorority in terms of no. of initiates.

I've read a couple history books, but they never tell origins of calls or hand signs. Are the origins of the hand signs and calls esoteric? If not, how did they originate?

Back to the original topic....I only know of calls and hand signs (not handshakes) in relation to BGLO's. If this is correct, then why all the fuss about handSHAKES and largest sorority? I would agree that 12dn94dst answered the original question!

Actually, Zeta Tau Alpha is the third largest Sorority...just clarifing!

Well it is the day after Christmas, people who aren't shopping are bound to be bored, or off founding a GLO.

It's one thing to resurrect a thread from 2000, but it's another thing to resurrect a thread from GreekChat's original troll.

But hey...if lamacmil wants to play a game of "Who's d**k is bigger?"...

Odd... since according to ZTA's website, they alone have 191,000 members. I think your math's off.
