I found it quite interesting for a couple of reasons. One is because this 'so called' Delta founders' step has been done by AKAs as a taunt. Two is because this step has been done geniunely as an AKA step. I was educated by an AKA that the step was created by members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I was actually baffled when I saw her do it, and I had to ask her why she was doing a Delta step. Needless to say, she got me right together and educated me on what she was taught. I was also educated by a woman of Delta Sigma Theta that the step is not tied to AKA in any way.
This is just my opinion. The step itself is pretty basic (even I can do it - LOL,) so I suspect it may have been a common step in variations among all of the sororities. But it is the words that make it DST's Founders step.

To me this whole thing of who originated what is pretty silly, because there are only so many steps and combinations that are really used. The uniqueness comes in presentation, which is why I think themes, outfits, props, etc. have become so prominent in step shows.
