my .22 cents (and, my word, i will attempt to stay on tangent):

i think that dissing should be OUT of a step show; it's a competion and to me, the stepping should do all the talking. nuff said.

i do think, however, that coming out shows are a time to grand stand. i mean, that's your time to wild out, or a least that's how it was when i was in school... at the very same time, there is NEVER a time to do anything that is in poor taste or that would reflect negatively upon one's organization. a mock rape is always in poor taste and highly inappropriate. skits mocking sexuality is always in poor taste and highly inappropriate (ALL NINE OF US HAVE HOMOSEXUAL MEMBERS; don't fake the funk.) men disrespecting women is NEVER appropriate. i have been to some shows and the chants that have been said about women made me feel embarrassed as woman just by listening to them and i have wondered WHERE is the advising chapter. i don't think the founders would approve of this kind of thing. a little teasing or getting a little jab in here and there is one thing, but making your WHOLE show an attempt to down another org is just pathetic and NOT creative.

i am an SGRho and lawd knows i don't think anybody is the butt of chants and coming out punches more than SGRho...but if its just a little teasing, i can dismiss it (because i know the things we can say, too) and if its a good joke, i may even laugh. but these things that are just overtly crude and meant to be straight up malicious, intended to rip and tear on another organization makes me wonder where our NPHC values are at.
