Back in Spring 1997 (what a good year
), Video Soul had a Greek Night with all of the Divine 9 sitting on the couch for a segment giving information about their organization. During the show, they showed on the screen, founding info as well as famous members. Anyway at the end and the halfway mark, they had 2 orgs step -- AKAs were the sorority but cannot recall the fraternity. That was more informational but since I was a NEO -- I was geeked as hell watching it with my sands and taping it.
But some thieving son of a guns stole it
Now on to this 106&Park Step Off:
1. If they are only having 2 orgs step for the hour and a half show, why not allow them 3-5 minutes to step, just replace 2 videos (it's okay -- it won't hurt) or replace the guests who will be on that night. That makes sense right?
Because IMO, stepping for ONE MINUTE is
. I am not a stepmaster or anything like that by no means but stepping for one minute hardly makes it WORTH coming on.
2. BET would do good to talk to the organizations' chapters about what they do throughout the year in terms of service, academics, and uplifting promoting BROTHERHOOD or SISTERHOOD.
3. BET's ratings will push through the roof for these air dates, anyway, because we want to see what our orgs do in terms of a ONE MINUTE STEP
, which chapter out of the hundreds of chapters will be chosen to represent our respective orgs, and of course, who wins.
4. The pairings are far too predictable.
