Understandable. Even as a member of a GLO on a mixed campus, I knew more about step shows than about any other activities done by the Black Greek Council, and I would guess that they knew even less about us. I would agree, though, that it was worse for the BGLO's, because I suspect they really did a lot more service than most of the IFC and PHC chapters.
I guess my earlier point is that, for better or for worse, there is a certain shroud of secrecy surrounding the D9. Is that intentional, or is that just the impression I get from the closed nature of intake?
FWIW, step shows have alway impressed me with the amount of dedication, teamwork, and tradition that goes into stepping, and I hope some of that will come across in the movie.
