She and others in my chapter have now judged many many shows in our area and I'm sure this is happening in other cities as well, although possibly not always (although I don't think I've ever heard of undergrads doing the judging). But I think seeking BGLO alumnae is the best way to go since there SHOULD be more maturity and honesty there but the alumnae chapters should ask members to judge that frequent stepshows and/or who have stepped themselves.

I would add on from my own personal. I get asked to judge shows because I have a resume of being in shows and judging other shows. You just don't ask anybody in the grad to judge a show because some in the org really don't know or have the experience.
Those of us that have been, especially those of us that were step masters know what to look for and what has won and lost because we are always looking for steps to institute in our routines if a frat from another region used a step or show that won (Never copy a whole show because what won for your frat in the eastern area may flop in the south.) So you see shows you see nuances, you see if the judges were hating or not.
