Pardon Me Ladies,
I can definitely understand where SKEEphistAKAte is coming from. Most people do associate the NPHC organizations with "step step side to side". I believe that fostering relationships between different groups is very important, within or outside of the Greek community; but at what cost? I know some people say it doesn't bother them that non-NPHC organizations step, but a few years from now when this practice has become rampant will the perception be different? I'm glad that they are encouraging unity, extremely happy that non-Blacks attended this event, but what stopped them from attending previous years? They aren't closed to the public, I go to at least 2 step shows every year.
If you think about it, sure this is a bit stretched, but think about it for one second, would someone see them stepping as a form of mockery? Even though the members who put on this event I'm sure have the upmost respect for themselves and their organizations, an outsider looking in could perceive this. Why couldn't the NPHC organizations step WITH them?
