That comment wasn't meant for any NPHC member to feel bad. Please accept my apology. I think you misintepreted me.
I know the "new 'old' school" members step. But, would you expect a GRADUATE CHAPTER to compete and win at the Long Beach Step Show? I wouldn't. And if my Grad Chapter applied, I would laugh!!!
. Then I'd be pissed 'cuz I would know my "little" undergrads (my babies) may have not had the monies (application fee, costuming and props) to participate in the show... That ain't right not heppin' the undergrads...
As far as coming back--especially Spring, 1996-2000 stepping in their chapters or All Star Teams, I wasn't referring to those cases. And you still can be OUT will your line jacket on, too. But, really, a "Grad" being out like y'all?
Okay...
When you are an old head like me, it's time for you to put away the jackets, massive nalia and shoes and let youth and vitality take up the cause... Major Step Show competition is a young person's thang... That is just one of the numerous fringe benefits when one joins an undergrad chapter...
That is just the way it is. I didn't ask for it to be that way, but everybody knows that joining as an undergrad has its benefits, too...
I would watch my kids step. But I would NOT be trying to "show out" for competition with them. What would I look like? I would expect my sorors or any fellow NPHC sorority member to put me in the looney bin if I wanted to join an "All Star" team...
Stepping at your own conferences is a totally different issue to me, too. Grad Chapters against undergrads is fair game. However, the recognition may not well known...
That's all I'm sayin'
Be OUT wit you bad self!!! You young! Shake yo thang, guirl!!!
And don' cha all little boys come OUT and do you thangs, 'cuz y'all will start givin' me hot flashes...
