But we do stroll because we feel that it encompasses a lot of our latino history, including the slavery (where the original basic steps of strolling comes from, the slaves who were coming over, who were shackled in chains in a line, had to do something to keep their legs from atrophying, and thus, that is where the basic steps originate) as well as a lot of indigenous traditions from latinos.
And of course we salute, which is a tradition that Lambda Theta Phi and LTA started to show respect and gratitude for those that came before us and taught us, generally, salutes to the PM and APM are good examples.
