Oh this takes me back (only a few years ago) to "lip sync" at my college. We had everyone who wanted to be in the dances practice hard core, at least a month in advance. It's amazing what you can do with a little time but a lot of dedication. We used to tell the new members, "we don't haze, we do lip sync!"  It was a great time, bonding and laughing about muscle aches and bruises, and some of our sisters' lack of hips!

We had a similar event as part of Greek Week called "MTV Bar Night." Back then (mid 90s), the routines probably didn't get quite as suggestive as what some of these on the video were, but that's just part of the changing times...nothing in that video was any different than what most large college dance teams do at athletic events.

The weird thing is that Sigma Nu did the same song at our Kappa Delta Shamrock Showcase "Walk It Out" in the SAME style outfits (hoodies and camo pants) with one of the Kappa Deltas as our coach.

The only ones that were too suggestive to me were the Kappa's and KD's. That would definitely NOT fly here. But the dances were really well choreographed. DG's wasn't as modern and interesting to me BUT...they also looked like they were the most "together"...I didn't see a one of them miss a beat.

We do this at my school during greek week and homecoming. It's a HUGE deal and winning airbands is a big selling point during rush because many girls coming through are former dancers and cheerleaders.

We have Lip Sync at my school. As for the dances in the video my favorite was DZ, and honestly I thought DG's was kinda boring, but thats just me. I also thought KKG and KD's were a little too much...

From both an advisor and/or mom of active perspective, I would be complaining that nearly all of the chapters' renditions were too suggestive.

I don't know why but I had 'Pledged' flashbacks. If anyone has an imagination like mine, I mean.

Dancing/acrobatics lessons? None of them did any complicated moves.

The KD costumes were a little much...I swear the girl on the left in the opening shot must have given the audience a peek of something, her shorts were way too short.
A lot of schools do dance competitions like this - you can find them all over YouTube - but most of them aren't very good. The ones in this video were. You can tell most of them have dance training...it's the rhythm and sharpness, and they were confident on stage...they knew the routine. I should know, I studied dance for 12 years, and if you aren't a confident dancer, you don't do moves like that.
I liked Alpha Chi Omega and DG the best. Does Ohio State have a dance team? The DG performance looked like a dance team in action.
My school had dance competitions during Homecoming, but our big thing was Songfest. A whole week of performing mini-plays that are 15 minutes long. Each group writes a script based on a theme, then throws in song and dance. Complete with celebrity judges, an orchestra, and hosts that also have their own performances. It's quite the to-do every year.

The girls featured in that video.
Aspiring rap music video girls?
The only girls who should be parading around in provocative clothing and dancing like that are girls who give shows for dollar bills.

I don't think these dance demonstrations reflect well on any of the sororities that participated. The only one that wasn't inappropriate was the Riverdance-type step. I'm certainly no prude but it wasn't like that in my day and that was when that awful Madonna was taking the US by storm
