Liquidn8-- Not being Greek myself, I cannot be sure what the exact answer is, but, at first glance, I would have thought that the "3 T's" are representative of the Cardinal Principles of Phi Sigma Kappa. They are: 1-To promote brotherhood 2-To stimulate scholarship 3-To develop character However, after further investigation, I believe that the 3 T's go back to the late 1800's (1873) when Phi Sigma Kappa was first formed. 6 young men formed the fraternity based out of today's UMass. The symbol by which they referred to their organization was apparently illegible to "outsiders." It was these people who said that their symbols looked like, "T, double T, and T upside-down." It would appear to me that this is the most rational explanation to your question.
