The words of Spartan4Life should truly be heeded! Though I am not a member of PanHell organization, I am Greek, and I'm appalled to hear of ANY organization's blatant disregard for themselves,their alumni, and their community! I attended a HBCU and have witnessed many a step show. While some have exemplified the wondrous artistic and creative ability within each organization, some have (in essence) been nothing more than very EXPENSIVE strip shows!
I think a call should go out to all GLOs who step (whether PanHell, Latino/a, Asian, or Multicultural)to KEEP IT CLEAN! Remember what stepping was created to do - give honor to the organization, its founders, and their illustrious alumni. Stepping was tool of distintion and a way to humorously poke fun at other groups. It's not about Playa hatin', it's not about sexual prowess. It's about good, CLEAN fun!
And just as an aside (to whatever NC school allowed that display to take place and to whatever organization was involved) - I hope you have issued an apology to the community!
