So, undergrads, enlighten us older folk.

Soror I'm not undergrad but I'm new (8months old in AKA). "Pistol Grip Pump" is an Alpha song and Sorors (from a day old to Silver Star Sorors) will run you over when "Scarred" comes on.

Texas Sorors can I get a witness?

And it's a mad fight because my sorors will run over folks for "Scarred" too...been guilty of it myself a time or two...

Northern Florida (i.e. Jacksonville)....If 'Set it Off' is playing....you might get ran over. If I hear that somg right now... i wont be able to help it...i'll stop real quick to 'strut' around the living room.

Hmmm... I think any song with any thing that even remotely correlates to an organization gets snatched up and used for a party walk/ stroll (here at Howard we say both).

For example, the Snoop and Pharell hit "Drop It Like It's Hot" is associated with the Deltas because Snoop sings/stretches him name out in the background, and it sounds just like the Delta call.

The AKAs love "Stilettos (Pumps)" by Crime Mobb because the Stiletto aspect.

The Alphas like "Cold as Ice" by MOP.

If we had Kappas they're probably stroll to "Diamonds are Forever" by Kanye West...

No one really strolls to old songs because that's not what gets played in the clubs. It seems like everyone has about 3-5 base strolls that have been handed down for a few generations, song-specific strolls that only go to a specific songs, and a few new strolls thrown into rotation to break up the monotany.

I think 'Set it Off' is a South Atlantic Region thing because everybody knows to clear the floor when it comes on.

My party walk, stroll, strutting (whatever you wanna call it) days are over (to a certain extent)! Nearly 15 years ago, when I was a neo, we didn't do ANYTHING remotely associated with the sorority IN.A.CLUB!

My sorors and I strut at the drop of a hat (lol)!

No, actually, we mainly strut at clubs, which I only go to every once and a while; it just isn't my cup of tea (I'm a lot older than my LS's). We have two "signature" struts we learned for our probate, as well as some others that *all* of the sorors from my chapter do. We don't really have a signature (chapter) song; basically *everybody* has struts to all the popular songs ("Oh, I Think They Like Me", "Laffy Taffy", "Unpredictable", "Check On It", etc.). Whenever we feel the music, we just gotta strut!!!

I agree, Set It Off is a SA Region thing. They played it at the Regional Convention Step Show last year and everybody was strolling. The Alphas traditionally stoll to that Das EFX song, Kappas stroll to Just Like Candy (the MJG version), Omegas clearly stroll to Atomic Dog, Deltas stroll to To Be Real...and I'm not sure about anybody else.

I need to see this. I am in the Far Western Region and I can't think of any specific songs younger sorors stroll to.

I noticed this too, I have always known More Bounce as THE song for APhiA and I am undergrad

...I guess it is different in different places...

It is serious too. If another sorority/fraternity strolled to said sorority/fraternity's respective "song" there would be smoke in the city. LOL. For a long time I thought that these songs/strolls were like national phenomena.

I've never seen PHAM stroll to anything other than the DAS EFX song (guess I need to travel). I can't think of the name of the song but it is on Beta Nu's (FAMU Chapter) intro:Click Here

(and it is probably on any other florida school's page as well, just like Set It Off is probably on most SAR AKA undergrad pages)

AKA2D '91 · #15 02-20-2006, 09:34 PM

Is it "They Want FX"? I believe it is. That was out when I was in college. That wasn't the Alpha's song in our area. I cannot remember what it was, but THAT wasn't it. It probably was Vanillas Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby".

I believe all of this is relative to the location, chapter even. It's probably not even regional nor state specific.

ETA: OR, this could be "Mic Checker" or "Mic Wrecker"

It's on the same album.
