What made this competetion differ from any other step show in years past at UK was the fact that all the teams participating were from historically White Greek letter Organizations. Albeit some question the degree of diversity on UK's campus, EX has been interacting with historically White Greek letter Ogrs for years. This event especially, exemplifies that EX is a trailblazer when it comes to breaking down the barriers of race among Fraternities and Sororities at the University of Kentucky. |
As an alumnae of the DZ chapter at UK, I'll add that while I was there, we always made efforts to participate in activities with the "traditionally black" sororities/fraternities. My roommate pledged Zeta Phi Beta and we used to love to discuss the similarities and differences between our sisterhoods (man, the new member gifts she got from her sisters after pledging was AMAZING!!!). It's nice to see the women of the chapter continuing that tradition in the article above. And it's a little weird to see a pic of the basement of the house on GC!
