This happens all the time...especially among some PW fraternities and I'm talking about mocking Black culture in general, not just that of Black greek orgs. Every campus environment is different. At some schools all the greeks respect one another and at others all kinds of disrespect takes place. At one of the PWIs I attended, we didn't socialize with the PW greeks at all because of the things that were taking place and the disrespect that was shown to us. If they wanted to learn how to step it would have only been because they thought is was funny or "cool," not because they truly wanted to learn the artform.
As for the bolded text, if you're serious about what you do and you don't show disrespect to NPHC orgs, than I'm not talking about those orgs.
