The state of TX even had a bill introduced to outlaw sexually provocative dance teams and cheerleaders in public schools (it died on the floor, I believe).
If all of the sororities agreed to a certain type of dance for the competition, then it would remove the pressure to be more suggestive. Of course, this is not likely to happen if everyone is happy with the status quo. I happen to think that it is not in the best interests of the sororities as a whole to present themselves in that manner - I wouldn't want my daughters to participate in an event that so obviously is geared to a sexually suggestive format. I also think the Broadway-type competitions are also more artistically challenging overall, and I'd much rather sit through an evening of those than hours of pelvic thrusts and gyrations. JMHO -

Well...at least DG won. Theirs was the most traditional dance on the floor in that particular competition. Definitely the cleanest by far. And I'm sorry but...the most difficult, in my opinion. They should've won. Some of the others might've been more entertaining to those of us who are used to watching BET and MTV, but the fact remains that that Broadway routine was more impressive. They also had the most traditional costumes. So at least the judges aren't impressed by the ability to hump air in underwear.
Some of the dances were just hip hop dances and honestly weren't that big of a deal, especially considering the kind of moves they COULD have included in the routine. But yeah, Kappa and KD's dances did not do much for my opinion of Kappa and KD as organizations...well, at least not those PARTICULAR chapters. You don't do stuff like that in the name of your organization. At the club? Great. Right after someone presents you on stage as an organization? Not so much.
