Hand Gestures

One thing AIESEC culture preps talk about is the different meaning of hand gestures in different cultures. Apparently it affects AIESEC LCs as well! This might be of particular interest to anyone from Austin who's reading this now...

I just learned from a CNN story, done by Anderson Cooper, that the hand sign of UT Austin - the hook 'em horn - means "hail to the devil" in Norway.

That's something to think about next time anyone does a hook 'em sign!

Hahahaha...

and Devrims name seems to have something to do with this political party also.

"Devrim" is as far away from nationalistic as you can get. "Devrim" is a borderline communist concept of the revolution of the masses, not an extreme right-wing pan-Turkic ethic-superiority based concept.
