I agree.

All things in moderation. If that African American member then tries to transform the chapter (and perhaps eventually the organization) into a BGLO, it may be a case of what people sometimes suspect of some African American members who join non-BGLOs--wookin' fo wub n all da wong pwaces.

1) So, what about the fact that AKAs taught ZTA how to step??

2) I do agree that the Tau Chapter of AKA had a better show.

3) I also agree that the choice of judges was bogus.

Already discussed.

ETA: As my dear friend says "I'm not opposed to non-NPHC teams stepping (because it's become more accepted over the years). I'm opposed to NPHCers teaching them how to step." You want to step? Do what many young step teams have to do. FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWNNNNNNNN.

And I'm hearing that they teach them to step every year in preparation for a scholarship stepshow (not just 16 years ago) and are no doubt pretty pissed right now. If this is true, then I bet they'll discontinue this little tradition...LOL!

Every year?

You have to be kidding me.

Are you telling me that the just-good-enough show I saw on youtube was basically an AKA creation that was taught to them FOR this stepshow?

I seriously doubt it for THIS show and maybe not in most recent years...don't know. A lot of comments about this thing are all over the internet right now including those supposedly from members of the AKA chapter on their campus.

Soooooo, is the point of contention is that because the ZTAs derived the step routine from the AKAs, that they did not win fair and square, thus they did not deserve to win?

I'm just curious....

Conflicting comments...some say the AKA's taught them 16 years ago and that's it while others say every year they teach them. Who knows but it's apparent in their routine that they did not come up with anything on their own. But hey, at least they were able to learn the steps. Some of us can't do that, even when copying.
