Re: Interesting
So would you be offended at seeing a non-black chapter of your own org step?
Just wondering.

It was something that came naturally. Well, then again, I am a percussionist, so rhythms, syncopation, and timing comes quite naturally.
I agree that some things should stay within our culture. It's a shame that damn near EVERYTHING we compose, one way or another is ilfitrated by non African Americans. I'm not in shape, nor fashion racist. I just feel like "dang, can we keep anything for ourselves??" Though we have additional Independent Greek Fraternities on our campus, we are the only ones who actually step, and win at that. I've personally composed step shows for several fraternities and sororities at TSU, so I guess it's safe to say that we really don't have those problems about non-bglo's stepping. It's all good here. I've seen a few non African American teams perform, and let me be the first to tell you that it was the dreads of humanity. .........Well, then again, that "Unknown Sigma Step Team" came down here and rocked the auditorium. They're an exception though.....I guess.
