Having worked with a Kappa Provincial officer (Spr '83), the whole Indiana Love thing is a recent (post 90's) phenomenon and Kappas would not have been teacher their art to any sorority.

I don't know if you care, but there's a guy who wrote some paper on the History of Stepping and he does a lot of tours and goes to different conferences and universities and speaks about.
I don't know if he's greek or not.
Anyway, I'm not sure where he got his sources, but he says Phi Beta Sigma was the first to use canes, and Kappas made it their own by perfecting twirling. So if you want to be technical, who "owns" the use of canes?
I'm not sure where you are, but many BLGO at Black colleges and Univ. step with canes. They don't step with the same style as KAPsi. The don't do a lot of twirling. But the use canes nonetheless.
I go to many step shows and many sororities step with canes. Sigma Gamma Rhos especially.
