I myself am not greek, yet i've been an aspirant for two years, and like to think i've done some pretty good research on BGLO's. We have a GLO at our school that steps, and have stepped in competition with Divine Nine org's (they didnt win), but me and my other aspirant friends felt that from what we know about stepping they shouldn't do it, and they really shouldnt step and incorparate things like " we step to a different, a better beat, than AKA, DST and those other unknown two". So i dont think that non-BGLO's should step. Chruch groups and drill teams are different because they are not GLO's, but cant we (african Americans have anything) GOD

I know i'm late but...
 

Being someone who has been on BOTH sides of the fence, and reading the posts from everyone who responded, I'd have to agree with those who say that Other orgs shouldn't step WITHOUT acknowledging us NPHC Orgs first. The reason i say this is because 1) I was always asked to "show them a step" but was never asked about what it was or how it related to my culture 2) when orgs. actually stepped in the competitions (homecoming competitions/greek sing, etc..) they only won B/C they incorporated a step routine and it was the "in" thing to do. 3) Again it was the "IN" thing to do and never did they ONCE try to do anything with the BGLO's, not even invite them to a party but you wanna learn to step?

I don't think these orgs are doing it because they are interested, only because they are the "in" thing to do. People who talk about AfrAmer "stealing" stuff from other people. We didn't steal ANYTHING, we were not allowed to participate in WGLO's so we had to create our OWN. We revamped everything and it's no wonder people want to do what we do, but sheesh, just show some respect. I have NO problem with ANY organization, as i said i've been on BOTH sides of the fence, I don't want to keep my culture to myself we have SOOOO much great stuff to share, but show respect and acknowledge us. LOL i think someone in a different forum said something like "in 50 years they will say that WGLO's invented stepping" LOL

I'm sorry y'all, I dont know where to post this, but I just wanted to say Congrats to the AKA chapter here at the University of Texas, El Paso for getting 1st place in the Greek Explosion Step Competition last night!

They were very impressive!! Congrats ladies, y'all deserved it!!
:D
