One of my sisters sent this to me today...and it took forever and a day to load...*smh*

I thought it was really good. I think the Alphas helped out with this show and for the most part I enjoyed it...

I think this is common practice at some schools for the IFC/PHC groups to get with NPHC groups and do a stepshow routine.

Black n Proud,

I personally think it's a pretty cool thing. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Why shouldn't we feel proud that someone wants to copy something that we do to exhibit love for our organizations? I mean I sorta don't want to stop taking my belly dancing lessons!

Yeah. They gave the Alphas a lot of shout out and even did some of their stuff. I knew that I was hearing a lot of skee-wees from the audience! :D The show was good! It appeared to be well rehearsed and the crowd was into it. They did a good job.

I personally don't know the history of stepping, but I always thought it came from the Greeks too. I notice their dance step and claps from the movie National Lampoons European Vacation. (The scene where Chevy Chase run through the festival and he is up on the stage with the Greek Guys stepping to greek music in the Alpine outfits) They were stepping and slapping their legs and feet. I just thought "we" as African Americans added the "soul" and strolling to it.

uuuhhhhhh.....

It's all regional honey because on my campus, they wouldn't dare and more than likely the NPHC wouldn't hear of it.

I think that was German dancing.

Pardon the intrusion, but I while reading this thread, I had a question: When I was a sophomore, I went to a residence hall conference held at a big Texas school that a bunch of other students from other schools attended as well. We had a bunch of seminars.. some were fun, some were related to things about residence hall councils. One of the fun seminars I went to was a stepping one. A bunch of members from D9 GLOs were teaching other people to step, myself included. I wasn't really that good at it, b/c I've never been a very coordinated person, but is it ok for D9 GLO members to teach stepping to others? Or is that not a big deal?

Why is that? That's very sad.

Yea I would have to agree. The IFC/PHC greeks on my campus don't step, but I know the Latino GLOs do.. they put on a step show every year WITH the NPHC GLOs

Every year for Homecoming at my school the KAPsi's would sponsor a step show. They would assign two brothers to each sorority that wanted to participate and would teach them a step and help them develop their routine. It was a lot of fun and a great way to promote Greek unity on our campus.

I would think other campuses would want to do the same.

I think that's a great idea to promote Greek Unity.

Wouldn't collaborating on a service project also promote "unity"?

They already do that, several times per year. This is another way to do so. I'm just curious as to why this would not be acceptable on some campuses.
