You know I had to represent ATL. I saw them in enough shows, but they did a great job in their show. If you were there, you have to admit that the Homecoming show was bananas with all of the strait jackets.

BET stepoff
 
I have kept up with the stepoff all this week and I thought I was seeing things when I saw Free throw up the pyramid on Wednesday's show, but then I caught it again the next morning when they aired the repeat and I was shocked. I know that I've been a neo for all of less than a week, but I was very offended that she did that. I tried to find an e-mail address so that I could tell her (politely) about herself.

I'm happy that our sorors won and I will be watching the finals next week to see who we will be stepping against. I'm just a little disappointed that the Kappas didn't win. : (

Now ya know I could not let this one slide. Heed your own words...and take the loss like a MAN! Tell your frat to stop wearing surgical gloves when they step. It made them look all dusty and dirty! :p


DoggyStyle82http://plauder-smilies.com/wavey.gif

You know where to find me!

Hey, I'm sorry Finer Woman, I was conscious of your feelings and mature greek unity, but in a moment of weakness, I was overcome with the need to speak the TRUTH. Your caucasian sorors, I mean, brothers, did a great job, even the jiggly one with enough love handles to supply a Fendi luggage factory.

Seriously, I don't hate. The Sigmas did a great job and the contest could have gone either way depending on ones preference. Good luck in the finals.

treblk 05-04-2002 12:38 PM

too much
 
:D you keep me lauging all day

I only caught the Alpha's vs the Kappa's and though both teams were good, but one of the Kappa's couldn't catch up the last 10 seconds of the show.

I think we got used by BET!!:(
Nothing was said or shown of all our local or/and National community service programs but they gonna show how we step....

all social....little substance.....:(

;) its okay DoggyStyle82. We are all prone to moments of weakness. I mean that rotund Omega macho man who stood in the front covering up the ENTIRE Omega step team served a purpose. I went to the taping. What a hearty macho Omega man indeed! BTW, there were like 3 caucasian Omegas who came to the show's taping. They barked very well too!:eek: :eek: :eek:

DST vs. ZPhiB
 
All right SORORS,

the sorority step off will have the SORORS of DST facing Zeta Phi Beta.

Best wishes to the 1913 Dream Team.:D

CrimsonTide4 05-07-2002 05:53 PM

They have changed it.

Sorority final round will be DELTA vs. Zeta vs. S G Rho

Trice26 05-07-2002 06:19 PM

why did they change it:confused: :confused:

1Babygirl2000 05-07-2002 09:30 PM

This makes absolutely no sense to me...but when will it air anyway??

legacypbs 05-08-2002 10:27 AM

Good job to all the fam no matter what colors you wear but question............

.............does anyone else feel like a Sambo?

PrettyKitty 05-08-2002 10:50 AM

When we got to BET studios yesterday we were informed that a barage of complaints through e-mails and phone calls about "unfairness" caused BET to allow the SGRhos to step in the finals...

I have to commend the Ladies of Delta for putting on an excellent show yesterday(airing tonight), you will be proud of their performance.

But of course, I am Z PHIIIing my lil blue self off at our win. I am sooooo very proud.

Also regardless of who won or lost I believe that all of the teams represented their Sorority or Fraternity well...but if BET is going to ask us to step again next year, they need to come with either a priZe, trophy, or donation to a Charity that we affiliate with....


JMO

Have a Blessed Day!

candygirl 05-08-2002 02:34 PM

"Unfairness":confused:

Granted there might be some things that I'm not aware of but the Zetas where better the Sigma Gamma Rhos. Thats just my humble opinion.

The Rock 05-08-2002 03:48 PM

Well I felt all the teams stepped well.
As far as unfairness, well.... :rolleyes: who knows..
Congratulations to all the teams that represented their organizations with their pride.

Let's keep the UNITY and begin to work more together in all areas we will all make so much more of a difference in all of our communities.

sequel_1913 05-08-2002 07:01 PM

:eek: How did they let the Zetas win. I thought that stepping was about talent not whose Sorority can yell the loudest!!!!!!

Innocence22 05-08-2002 07:19 PM

I commend all of the sororities for participating in the finals of the BET competition. All of the ladies did well (well, almost..SGRho why did the audience get real quiet?? People started holding conversations, And I think I heard booing!!:confused: ) Anyway, I don't mean to offend anyone but I swore that the Deltas were going to win. But both DST and ZPhiB did very well. After the decision some of DST's members looked "shocked" and kind pissed like WTH just happened. But still you ladies did a WONDERFUL job. :)

I guess according to BET, stepping is about how many people will vote in an internet poll, who can yell the loudest, and exactly how much they can attempt to pacify NPHC. :rolleyes:

MeezDiscreet 05-08-2002 07:39 PM

WE WERE ROBBED
 
what's up with the apollo style voting? there is no way in God's green earth that the zetas should have won. i have nothing bad to say about the sorority as a whole but i did not like their show! i'm from the south and we step a little different down here. there is more "crunk-ocity" and passion likened to the fire that my sorors of the 1913 Dream Team had when they stepped. they should have won. point blank. period.

who do i need to email is what i want to know. maybe the nypd because we were ROBBED!!!!

b.e.t. didn't let the zetas win. the divine 9 knew ahead of time the process to determine the winners of each preliminary and final round. i watched the show and truly think my sorors stepped better. however, chalk this up as a learning experience. i think the divine 9 allowed ourselves to be pimped by b.e.t. if/when they invite the divine 9 back next year, the answer should emphatically be "no". unless as someone suggested, they make a donation to the winning sorority or fraternity or to a charitable organization, supported by the winning fraternity and sorority.

congrats to the ladies of zeta phi beta sorority, inc.

Like I said stepping is about talent and not about yelling. However, if you feel your Sorors stepped better that's your opinion in which you are entitled. But in my opinion it should have been based on talent. That way the most talented step team would have won...DST!!!

Damn I love all the hateration! Please keep it coming cause that's exactly the kind of energy that keeps the Blue and White Family in the win! As for yelling the loudest, that award would go to your Sorors. I was on stage, and it was a fact that their were more delta's (at least 15) in the audience than Zetas (about 5). So in actuality, you ladies "yelled" more loudly than we did".

Nothing has changed. Stepping is about talent. With 15 or so ladies of Delta Sigma Theta representing, the audience still felt that the most "talented" team were the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta.

I would however, recommend to BET next year that they go with a panel of greek judges representative of the Divine 9.

soror... to clear up things. there isn't a doubt in my mind that the 1913 dream team stepped better. there also isn't a doubt in my mind that the selected method of choosing a winner was downright stupid. however, the final results will remain the same. once again, maybe a host of necessary changes will be made for next year.

See L.S.....I love u 2..2..much! :-) Everyone knew how the voting was to go before we got to the competition. Point blank, the Audience(which consisted mostly of GDIs) felt the Best Team won. No need to be mad or ruffle feathers about it. All 3 teams are to be commended for their performance. I have been to shows were I felt that the Zetas were going to win and they didn't...but that's life, you win some and you lose some...move on and learn from your experience...

AKA2D '91 05-09-2002 11:11 AM

The Best Step teams?

I don't even think the best step teams were even represented for ANY of the organizations. I know for at least 5 of them. But some of the teams that were shown were the best I had ever seen. (IMO)

Booooooo! to BET. Remember, this is Sweeps month. Folks need ratings.

I agree with a post OA made I think in the Sigma's forum. Each organization should have their own step-off and from there, do a national competition of all the organizations. With a panel of independent judges deciding the winners.

PrettyKitty 05-09-2002 02:54 PM

Well we are ALL entitled to our opinions...but newayZ, I would suggest that you address your concerns with BET as we did. Questions were raised about how the show was to be judged as well the lack of focus on the programmatic thrusts of our organizations. I, personally, don't have an issue with each organization having a step off then having the team represent their organization...but what we got is what we got. Can't cry over spilt milk now...all you can do it affect change for the next time around, if there is to be one...

ChocolateKiss3000 05-09-2002 03:57 PM

Ya'll were robbed!!!
 
I watched all of the "step shows" (although I call them "step tease") and I want to say that the Delta's should have won. And if I'm not miskaten didnt the Zetas do that same "precise" step for the first round??? I aint tryin to dogg anyone just goin by what I see. I have them all on tape. But the Deltas were waaaaaaaaaaaay better than anyone on the show.

DoggyStyle82 05-10-2002 12:15 AM

I refuse to believe that there were 3x as many Deltas in the audience as Zetas and a supposed unbiased crowd thought that the Zetas were even that much better than the Rhos, much less DST. That was far from an appropriate method to judge a contest. But so be it. Those are the rules. Congrats to the Zetas.

Instead of making assumptions based upon who you think was in the audience, it is always better to check with those who were in attendance. And since several people who were in attendance(self included) have spoken in regards to that and have said pratically the same thing, then why ass u me otherwise? However, in regards to your opinion about the show and anyone else's...we are all entitled to it...but the crowd make-up is factual information. Still luv ya though!

Its well documented that dst has the largest number of initiated members in the NPHC and they also knew they were in the finals for an entire week before the show aired. Clearly they had time to rally the troops. The Zetas and SGRhos did not find out they were stepping until the day before/day of the show. So naturally they did not have the same amount of time to gather member support.

I was at the step off too. I was one of the 5 Zetas present in the audience. I can even tell you where the Deltas were from...they were from Binghampton, Rho chapter and the other chapter in the city. If the majority...and I do mean MAJORITY of the crowd was not Greek or Greek affiliated, would you not call them "unbiased". They had nothing to gain from any of the teams. There was no prize...just bragging rights.

ALL teams knew the finals were going to be judged "apollo style". The choice that was made was made by the people...and included in those "people" were fellow Greeks. The crowd in the studio, I heard cheering were cheering amazingly loud for Zeta Phi Beta Sorority's victory. What you heard on television, I do not know.

However, what I find distrubing is I am reading a lot of bad sport remarks on this subject. You have to take the wins with the losses. This time the Zetas WON. The proper thing to do, would be to say congratulations. Afterall, its all still D9. And it should all still be love. If you want to "woof", you talk about seeing the team NEXT year. IE...DELTAS, SGRHOS, AND AKAS...YOU BETTA BRING IT NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE THE ZETAS ARE HOLDING ONTO THIS TITLE!!!! Now of course the problem with woofing is what happens if the team you are rooting for does not win? Well, you of course are subjected to being clowned. The point is...its speculative...and no harm or foul is done.

To speak on this subject in the context of ANY of the teams being inferior when the decision has been made is BAD FORM. Thank you for your indulgence. Please continue with your regularly scheduled conversation. Peace!


DELTAQTE 05-10-2002 12:50 PM

well
 
I am so mad that I haven't seen the Delta team step yet, I did see the Rhos and Zetas step in the final round though.


But why for some reason that if we had won, I know somebody would of had something to say about it, so why can't we?

And if I would have been in the audience, I would of been telling them kids "Hey, yell for the Deltas at the end, mkay?" to make more noise, ya feel me?



Let me hush up before Theo14 starts another thread called "These fake greeks part 2":rolleyes:

So I guess now you are implying that we asked all of kids in the audience to yell and scream for us....HA! :rolleyes: Shaunda you know I love u like the PGU sister you are to me :) , but please be for real. The Deltas and SGRhos lost, Zetas won, the mostly non-greek crowd decided who they felt should win...end of story...better luck next year.

And you know I love your PGU self also(on the real tip)

Maybe we'll have better luck next time if the voting is done RIGHT like someone suggested(the D9 having judges).

And so what if you DID tell some kids to yell for you?? It would have been smart to do since you said there were only 5 Zetas and about a zillion Delta's. I don't see nothing wrong with that!

That's pure speculation. But, I did notice here on the Greek chat boards no one said anything nasty regarding your win against the akas. Maybe, I missed it...but, I don't recall seeing anything derogatory. And even when the Sigma Gamma Rho's thought they loss,(the results of that show was a tie) they were still gracious.

For all who may feel still feel bitter by the whole BET program,
let's revisit my favorite past time as a child...the dictionary.
sports·man·ship Pronunciation Key (spôrtsmn-shp, sprts-)
n.
The fact or practice of participating in sports, game or competition.
Conduct and attitude considered as befitting participants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing.

On your comment about swaying the audience...lol...I will keep my comment to myself.

CrimsonTide4 05-10-2002 01:36 PM

The End
 
Thank you Jesus the step off is over. Now peace and life can be restored.

The Zetas and the Sigmas won the step show. Now they have 2 things that the rest of the orgs don't have -- a constitutional bond and a BET STEP OFF VICTORY.

:o :cool: :rolleyes: :eek: :p
