Hand Signs for Sigma Nu?

Hey, I was just wondering if anybody has a hand signal that they use for Sigma Nu. I know at are campus most sororities and fraternities have some sort of Gang Sign basically that they utilize during pictures or philantropies or wahtever. Do yall have any hand signs and your chapter? Thanks

Ironically, I was joking with one of my brothers about this. We came up with a vague approximation of the letters using hand signs, but it looks more like Epsilon Nu then Sigma Nu.

But it was just screwing around, noone on our campus seems to do that.

Yes.

Think "reverse shocker" (so sad that I know this - "one in the pink, two in the stink") and then spread your fingers. It makes a Sigma to others when using your right hand. LOL

Our chapter uses this when people feel like "Throwing their letters up" for a photo.

That's ridiculous; there are a lot of things that are not in the ritual that the founders would not have wanted, but culture changes. Gamma Phi here does and upside down L with their right hand and puts their finger across their open mouth to make a ΓΦ. Phi Mu does the Phi with the Right Hand and an M with the Left to make a ΦM. Theta opens their mouth and puts their finger the other direction to make a Θ. KD takes their middle finger ring finger and thumb from the right hand and combines them with the ring finger and thumb of the left hand to make a KΔ. Phi Psi does the same as Phi Mu but the left hand makes a psi with the three middle fingers.... need I go on. It does not mean we think we're "gangsta" it's just a fun thing to do for facebook shots.

I think what stands out is the fraternity that does not go with the flow and try to toss "signs". I have a feeling they stand out on their own.

You are a Sigma Nu! you are not a blood, act like it. Fraternities are not trying to "stunt", "flash", "Rep". Culture might change but tradition does. Ill stick to the things i read in the book. If you are a Man who represents the Legion of Honor you know those signs.

Fraternities are not software, no need to update

Stay Fratty Brothers

If you notice, most of the orgs you mentioned were sororities. I agree, if Sigma Nu wanted you to throw a hand sign, we probably would have made one in the ritual book but its probably because a) its harder than hell to make a sigma nu out of hands and b) we already have secret call signs that we dont need a "letter flash"

Leave the hand signs to sororities gents
