I can imagine why from a promotional standpoint, but I guess coming from an artistic standpoint (as most Greeks might agree) it was the wrong move. If they were going to use famous people, I'd prefer famous Greeks who have exposure to stepping in some way (Darryl Bell from A Different World, for example). If not Greek themselves, I'd at least like to see someone with a background in dance (Debbie Allen, are you listening?)

But alas, that's not what it turned out to be.

I'm not mad at Zeta Tau Alpha for following the rules. I do question the borrowing of a tradition from one culture in order to promote one's own organization.

How come nobody ever borrows the Filipino stick dance? Or capoeira?
