Wow....I have tried not to respond to this ridiculous discussion because one of my own has participated in the thread against me. I know who you are and I totally understand why you feel the way you do. The only thing that these children are guilty of is stealing that poem. They have apologized for that. They are taught to respect ALL greek letter organizations....particularly collegiate....not just the D-9....ALL Collegiate Greeks! We have many step teams and shows in Baton Rouge. Even some of our churches have step teams. Is that wrong too! Stepping is derived from the African Boot dance and as an African American I am glad to see other cultures utilize this form of entertainment. This group was established in Baton Rouge where crime is up! This organization keeps these children focused and off the street. They are encouraged to set attainable goals, make sound decisions and serve the community. This is simply a leadershship organization with 2 greek symbols. Many lives have been turned around here. Some of our kids have moved on and pledged the collegiate greek letter organization of their choice. I do not apologize for their existence.
