Is stepping in the same show as "GDI's" or service frats wrong?

Call me snooty, elitish, or whatever. I'll be that, but I can't agree with fly by night orgs, which FL is famous for, stepping in the same competition as the D9.

I did agree with you some time ago, but at the end of the day you have to be realistic. When the D9 first said they were not stepping everyone screamed racism and elitism. But that is not the issue. I have no problem stepping against a Latin fraternity or any other fraternity that is well developed enough to compete. I was first angered by the many play play organizations that wanted to step, some of which just organized a year ago. I ask you all the same question I asked myself. DOES STEPPING WITH GDI's or SERVICE FRATS GIVE OFF THE APPEARANCE OF EQUALITY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS?
