That is what made it funny. She was so :mad: about it and we were like :rolleyes:, okay, whatever. But, you can't say that she did not do her job! ;)

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Screaming at the top of my lungs. I hate exercise struts, strolls, etc. That's what I call them.

My thoughts exactly. Cut the bulljive and all the extraneous nonsense and just get down to the steppin'.

I saw this one step performance with the Central State University Deltas (Delta Kappa chapter) where the steppers were dressed like stewardesses--the whole Delta Airlines bit, and this one cat who was supposed to be the captain was "flying the plane" during their performance, and he was ALL into it, simulating flying through turbulence, radioing the tower, filling out the flight log, and errethang. I thought he was going to catch the symptoms of food poisoning ala Captain Oveur from Airplane and pass out and take the plane into a deep dive. Myself and my frat brothers were cracking up at his piloting skills. But I digress...

Bottom line: cut all the silly gimmicks such as pointless skits and smoke and mirrors and all that nonsence and just step like everybody else.

It is indeed a new day in greekdom....


Quick detour...As a witness to this particular step performance, I'm not sure it backs up the '19 minute skit 1 minute step' statement. The show was FULL of stepping, the Delta Airlines bit was their theme, and they STEPPED up down all-around and through that theme. The only time they were NOT stepping was when they were entering the stage (dropping their luggage off before 'boarding') and when they party walked (strolled, hopped, call it what you will, lol.) off the stage at the end.

Honestly, it was the epitome of a 1st class STEP show.

Which is probably why they won 1st place.

Back to the main road - I concur on the midnight probates in 2 degree cold.

As well as orgs/chapters claiming to 'run the yard' when ALLLLLLLLLL they do is throw parties. I mean, those are some live parties...but still, a party does not a strong organization make! Silly me and my old-fashioned thinking to think 'running the yard' was to be based on leadership & service to the community. :rolleyes:

You are correct on all counts, my mind took a detour at the thought of that one cat in the Delta step performance that I just had to get off my chest, cause it was seriously hilarious--and very much extra. The stepping was indeed on point, though that doesn't change my overall opinion of there really shouldn't be a need for a skit of ANY sort, if the stepping is any good. It's almost as if the skits are trying to compensate for a weak step performance, though that is definately not always the case, that begs the question: WHY THE NEED FOR A SKIT?

Daggonit, if you're gonna step, step. If you're gonna put on a SNL skit, change the venue from a step show to a skit show or something like that.

That's just the old school college man in me talking. ;)

I do agree with this 100% ;)

LMAO...literally

I agree with everything being said. I'm especially perturbed when there are chapters of an org that actually teach their chapter members that they are the truest member of the org, and all other chapters are inferior. (BTW, these chapters aren't Alpha chapter or even single-letter that I'm referring to. The nerve!) I've even heard that there's a chapter that teaches that other members outside of their chapter are cousins. :eek:

I wish sorority women would be more selective about the songs they stroll to and would kill the stripper moves. *SMH*

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I'm sick of members that spend their good money on XYZ paraphernalia that includes subtle or directly unapologetic references to other D9 orgs. For...what? Wearing anyone else's colors and/or letters anywhere on your XYZ 'nalia makes you look insecure and brings down the image of your organization.

Get that said, Prophyte! LOL:D

SIAsensacion 06-24-2007 10:20 PM

Neos that know it ALL, and that know way more than their prophytes...THAT is what annoys me

People who are more concerned with being GREEK than with being a member of XYZ, that annoys me, too. I'm all for greek love, but your own org should be your PRIORITY
