Theo14,
If you saw the Sigma chapter's step on BET, their chant did say: "White boys can step, too."
Realistically, should our organizations be espousing that kind of behavior? So what if other ethnic groups can step or not, just like you sed, IT WAS THE MEMBERS OF
PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC. stepping--not ethnic individuals...
Before I am gonna havta take this discussion off my Soror's AKA board and onto that PM, I will ask you exactly what do you mean I need to
"wake up"? Have you read any of my posts on other topics to their entirety?
Now, I saw the 1st Fraternity competition between the Alphas and the Kappas. I saw their chapters on their line jackets. The steppers my have been all-star teams, but it still looked like individual chapters were "running" the step team's show... I dunno, but I will ask again with clarity, is this stepping on BET something that we should do for all our organizations on Nationally recognized television in a favorable light, given the kind of chants used and steps/movements made? Should we be "clowning" each other with mutual understanding outside of our traditional environments for mainstream society to see and make illogical conclusions? Just asking...
Today, my Sorors and the ladies of DST will be competing against each other. Hopefully, unilaterally, our organizations will maintain the utmost respectability for the "Art of Stepping" along with legacy and history...

"The saw the Sigmas step today... White boys can step, too is what they said... I really don't
care who can and cannot step, but are we all really representing ourselves in a favorable light
here? Or let's call it like it is: A marketing ploy and tool so that N'SYNC and Brittany have
more moves that they can do... "
I call it sigmas who can step and have nationally beaten quite a few teams with their steps...if brittany or nsync can come to a step show and represent like that, defeating, winning and humiliating other orgs, like ive seen this particular group do on several occastion across the country, bring them on......
how is this not reprenting ourselves in a favorablie light? im not understanding.....please explain.....
if its the fact that there a white guys on stage on BET, wake up, there are white people in all of our orgs, including yours, check out the EBONY issue about white greeks in black fraternities/sororities......
if im mistaken about your intent with this statement please "school" me
