I saw this one step performance with the Central State University Deltas (Delta Kappa chapter) where the steppers were dressed like stewardesses--the whole Delta Airlines bit, and this one cat who was supposed to be the captain was "flying the plane" during their performance, and he was ALL into it, simulating flying through turbulence, radioing the tower, filling out the flight log, and errethang. I thought he was going to catch the symptoms of food poisoning ala Captain Oveur from Airplane and pass out and take the plane into a deep dive. Myself and my frat brothers were cracking up at his piloting skills. But I digress...
Bottom line: cut all the silly gimmicks such as pointless skits and smoke and mirrors and all that nonsence and just step like everybody else.
It is indeed a new day in greekdom....

Quick detour...As a witness to this particular step performance, I'm not sure it backs up the '19 minute skit 1 minute step' statement. The show was FULL of stepping, the Delta Airlines bit was their
theme, and they STEPPED up down all-around and through that theme. The only time they were NOT stepping was when they were entering the stage (dropping their luggage off before 'boarding') and when they party walked (strolled, hopped, call it what you will, lol.) off the stage at the end.
Honestly, it was the epitome of a 1st class STEP show.
Which is probably why they won 1st place.
Back to the main road - I concur on the midnight probates in 2 degree cold.
As well as orgs/chapters claiming to 'run the yard' when ALLLLLLLLLL they do is throw parties. I mean, those are some live parties...but still, a party does not a strong organization make! Silly me and my old-fashioned thinking to think 'running the yard' was to be based on leadership & service to the community.
