Bet Step-off

sweet-n-rho · #1 05-05-2002, 01:44 PM

I was disappointed with the step-team that represented for us. I know I'm going to catch hell on this but I have the right to my opinion. We have many sgrho step teams that are very good and I wish one of these teams would have represented for us. The girl that introduced the step-team had an accent and could barely be understood. I was also disappointed that there were only 3 sorors in the 106 audience. I know for a fact that we have a lot of sorors around that area so where were they? Little things like this is why people think there are only two Sigma Gamma Rho's in the universe. Please don't get me wrong I'm proud of the ladies for getting out there and doing their best, but this was national television so I think we could have represented better.

Hello Soror,

First I want to say that I am not going to give you hell about your statement, because I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion!

Personally I thought the step team did rather well. For having such a short period of time to step, I thought the steps were pretty tight and were together as they stepped. Now I agree that our Soror had a thick accent who introduced us but, she showed that we are a diverse sorority and I thought that they could have had anybody to say what we are about, but they picked her. I can not think of exactly what she said her title was, but I do remember it being in a leadership position which is more than I can even say for myself!!

So I trust they had their reasons. Now I can not confirm or deny that there were only three sorors in the audience, but I am sure we all know that we may be small in numbers. And there has been many a day when I have been the only soror surrounded by other Greeks, but that did not stop me from representing SGRho with an EEE-YIP that could break an ear drum!!

Soror as long as you know that we got it going on...that is all that matters. I think in time who knows
what may happen. But just because you have a load of people in the house doing the call etc., does not mean that they are going to represent you in the best light!

I think we were called on to step and that is what we did. Of course there is always room for improvement, and I know that you said what you said out of concern, but BET in my opinion is boot leg, and I have seen complaints from all in the Divine 9 about the program in itself and how it was conducted. You still can't even vote

But just know Soror that I feel you on what you said, but remember that we
not only as individuals make up SGRho, but as a collective whole we all need to do our part to represent, and I am sure that issue will be discussed, but just not in a public domain. EEEE-YIP Soror

You are right soror. Thank you for your beautiful response. I hope I didn't offend our sorors that stepped

. I love Sigma Gamma Rho and I just want others to appreciate us. I know we are small in numbers, but we are not that small. We have to show our face sometimes so others will know this. The Boule is in July and I hope this is one of the topics that will be discussed. Sorors please try to support each others activities, if another chapter is giving a carwash, party, stepshow please support them. I would have been in the BET audience for the stepshow but I didn't find out about it in time. LOVE TO ALL MY BLUE AND GOLD SISTERS

ROYAL BLUE WISHES AND GOLD KISSES

Hello Sister Greeks!
I went to the taping. There were more Sigma Gamma Rhos and Zetas for that matter at the taping. Some of us decided not to sit in the audience because quite frankly, we would like ridiculous amongst the teeny boppers.

Please know the Royal Blues are definitely represented in NY something strong! But, remember 1. the taping was done during finals and 2. The show's demographic is "pre-college age"...an ideal setting for Archonettes and Rhoers.

...not college students and grads. 3. A local step team works to the benefit of the show's production, if a quick change is needed.

I also know your Soror who spoke on behalf of your organization. Let me tell you, that sister is FLY! I have heard her speak in other settings. She is very knowledgeable and has a fabulous personality. I believe she is a regional coordinator. (forgive me if I have the title wrong.) The adrenaline of being on NATIONAL television

I am sure played in to her speaking faster than her normal speed.

Good luck!

I saw your sorors perform on BET, and I thought they showed real well.

babydoll3 · #7 05-06-2002, 04:42 PM

Sorors,
I would like to first start off by telling my fellow sorhors you did a very good job

. And Anilsa Nunez, is the Area 4 Coordinator. She represents harder than anyone I know and I think she did a wonderful job. I have had numerous Hispanic's come up to me and say they didn't know they could join Sigma Gamma Rho, now they know because of Anilsa. She holds it down for SGRHo and I can't think of anyone that could have done a better job. Kudos to Anilsa and the sorhors that stepped.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

soror nunez is an awesome soror! a few years back (prolly around 97ish) i was having some issues that had to do with sigma and i voiced them on our old listserv at the time.... i dont even remember what the problem was about, but i do remember that she called me (from the east coast to california) to talk and see if there was anything she could do to help (and i had not known her before our conversation)!

she is beyond hardworking and TRULY her sisters keeper!

It was indeed CLOSE! Congratulations and Good Luck to the Ladies of Zeta Phi Beta!!

Shelacious · #13 05-06-2002, 07:29 PM

You all are so sweet

. Your Sorors set it out, and I did think it was nice to have your Soror of Latina descent representing! For sure we'll be representing the Blue side of the Divine 9 on Wednesday! Thanks for the support, and considering the BET site is majorly whacked, it was still a good showing for both organizations.

Pretty Poodle were did you get the results from? Because I looked and looked, still couldn't find them.

Hey SisterFriends,
Props to your soror Anilsa. I know her to be a hard worker and a dedicated member of SGRho. You should be proud of her!
