I was actually in a real program that wasn't attached to an org, but happened to have a lot of Omegas and Delta working on it. (The leader was an Alpha Chapter Que.)
And it was literally just a Rites of Passage Program. Afrocentric, community based...really great stuff. And even though looking back, I can see that elements of what we did had parallels to a "process" the superficial parts were taken out. No jackets, no shirts, no calls, no stepping. In fact, the only thing I have from that experience is a little piece of kente cloth and a notebook.
But that's all one really needs as a teen, isn't it?
In fact, sometimes I wonder if we'd have the same number of members in NPHC organizations if wearing para and stepping were outlawed, but that's another topic.
