HECK, YEAH! Serious as a heart attack and a double stroke.
Does NPHC orgs want to show the world their glitter and fluff, or their sho' 'nuff, hardcore, down-to-the-nitty-gritty, SUBSTANCE! Let's face it, the first thing that comes to mind when the term black fraternities and sororities come up is stepping, signs, colors, and calls. If this is not the image NPHC orgs want to portray to the world, then drop it alltogether, and go back to the basics. Heck, by doing that, you'll probably have a Black Greek Renaissance here in America. And on the centennial anniversaries of Black Greek life, no less! Perfect!
BTW, don't do it for me. Do it for those who always saw and thought of you as nothing more than glorified step teams. You'll shock the heck outta them. You'll probably shock the heck outta yourselves too with the renewed perceptions of you.

no...that won't happen. i could care less what someone non greek or non pan thinks of whether or not i step, party walk, do my call or wear my line jacket. that is my way of showing love for my fraternity to my fraternity brothers. they are the ones who don't take the time to learn about us. these people care not about the love, the bond and the subculture that life on the yard is. i know good and well that the IFC frats aren't about blondes and beer, so why shouldn't they know that we're more about stepping? stepping is not the only thing that these folks see, that is the the only thing that they're interested in. people see what they want to see.
