The President will say the secret and sacred words “Remove the Veil” and then the member will respond back with the Chapter’s name, example, “Zeta Eta.” The Gold and King Blue symbolize “Perpetuity” and “Sincerity”. The person will enter then travel to the apex of the pyramid formation. The President will respond back with her gavel by repeating the knock. Members usually recite an oath, “We, the members of Phi Sigma Sigma, promise to keep secret and sacred all of our proceedings.” The way to enter the pyramid is by using the hand knock to notify the members you are wanting to enter the room. Two gold candles and one blue at each corner of the table. The table at which the President and Vice President are seated consists of candles on each side.
Members are seated by class order, then by alphabetical order.
The remaining members sit across from the officers in a pyramid formation with the base closest to the officers and the apex farthest from the officers. The President wears a yellow or gold robe and the officers wear royal blue robes. The meetings are set up usually with the President, VP and other officers sitting at the front. Depending on who is the senior member, the pinky finger is wrapped around the older member’s hand. Then Member A wraps the remaining fingers, middle, ring and pinky around the hand as a symbol of the “Sigma”. Member A first begins with the pointer finger and the thumb surrounding Member B’s pointer finger and thumb.

The Handshake consists of a series of motions. However, this is never written down or recorded (until now) because it is so “sacred”. Phi Sigma Sigma (PSS) secretly stands for Philanthropic Social Society. The thread was actually started in early 2010, but long after it had died out, someone under the name “stepscloser” posted the following: The overall thread was started by someone asking fraternity and sorority members to reveal various secrets, such as initiation rituals. You see, back in November of 2011, a former member of Phi Sigma Sigma posted to a thread on the Penny Arcade forums, detailing some of the “secrets” of the sorority, including its silly secret handshake. This story was pointed out to us by Chris O’Donnell, who said he never realized that Barbra Streisand had been a member of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority.
There’s always someone new who hasn’t figured it out yet. Every time people tell me that lawyers now have a strong enough understanding of “the Streisand Effect” such that it’s less likely to happen these days, I laugh.
