Stepping Styles
When I was in school, things were more traditional. Sorors did wear dresses and heals/pant suits and heals. The shows were also more feminine like for all groups involved. Nowadays, its who is the roughest that wins (IMHO) for females and who's the freakiest for males.
As far as regional differences, I've noticed Sorors on the east coast staying more true to the tradition....they still step in heals and nice suits... When I was in the Southeastern Region, it was about the hardest steppers. I remember at Regionals about 2 years ago, an older soror was sitting by me at a stepshow (Southeastern regional) and she was like, the show was good and the Sorors did some difficult steps, but we are moving away from all the lady-like qualities in the step routine -- Sorors were really rough. In addition, their outfits weren't traditional..... Lastly, Southern region.... it varies. Some Sorors stay true to the traditional steps and dress but add their chapters flare to it...and others are simply wild as all get out....
