Unfortunately these kids enter college with the same mentality when they want to go greek; that is all about pledging and stepping  .

That's not always the case with HS teams. One of my
soRHOrs is the step team coach for a team, but she decided to take it further than just stepping. This co-ed team has been completing community service since their inception over a year ago as well as practicing twice a week. She did not grant them the privelege of letters for their names until 2 months ago. Honestly, the Greek letters for kids is a little deep sometimes because I have seen some kids act like little sororities and fraternities. I've even seen kids with "line numbers"
and names of the line.
As far as the BET Step Off, it's almost silly b/c what can you see in a minute. I'm sure the Unknown Sigma Step Team tore it up because the three who represented when I saw them 2 years ago were ridiculously on point. The Alphas ripped it yesterday, but ONE SKINNY MINUTE..? I'll give BET a slight piece of credit because I saw a representative from Alpha and KAPsi give a brief blurb about the organizations. They could have done more, but somebody already said that the "E" in BET is not for enlightenment, education, or even edutainment. It's strictly entertainment... and I barely call it that.
