We'll restart this:
I have searched google, I have searched this website, how does stepping have anything to do with founders ideals. Since I do not know any black greeks except for the ones I helped chaperone at a party (Q-Dawg Toga, all-greek unity party (except it was only black greeks not others)), and they can't answer my question I decided to ask ya'll. I'll claim ignorance just so I can get an answer
P.S. Why is APhiA Ice Cold? Was their founding in New York?

Cornell to be exact.
Where did anyone say that stepping had anything to do with their founders ideals? Or is this just an idea that you cleverly came up with?
Does everything that you and your org does have something to do with your founders' ideals?

LOL. We simply informed them that they know nothing of our founders' ideals to speak on them and stepping, itself, isn't contrary to our founders' ideals.
When white fraternity men began singing and serenading women back in the day, which prompted BGLO men to do the same and add dance steps to it, I wonder if that was based on the white fraternity men's founders' ideals. I don't really wonder, but I pretend to wonder.

Like I said pages ago, if they want to know, they can search the info. Don't waste your time answering questions when NOTHING you type will ever be good enough. It will only spark a flame war, or whatever the hell people on GC call it. They've already started down that road.

Yeah, that makes sense. You're right.

Does everything that you and your org does have something to do with your founders' ideals? (this is a quote from jubilance1922 about elaphantwalk's comment) I don't know how to take out a certain section of the quote. My reponse below Jubilance1922.

Because the "wearing your letters" thread is more interesting then a movie about dancing.

A symbol without substance
I think that when people don't pledge/or are taken through the "intake" process, they miss the true power of what it means to step. To truly appreciate the power of that action, one must understand the power of the emotion that is supposed to be associated with it. I think too, to have made a movie about it is irresponsible and potentially harmful if the producer doesn't highlight some of the work associated with what it means to be a Bruh or a Soror, and, I think that it would be smart if the film showcases the tribal history associated with stepping and what tribal dance, a centuries old form of communication and precursor to stepping is really all about. Do I think its cool to produce a movie about it? Hell naw. I think that the de-mystification of the pledging process has only succeeded to disempower the spirit of the journey and it has taken with it, the distinct art of what it means to step. Hollywood doesn't need to make a movie about everything and I'm embarrassed that a member of Alpha Phi Alpha has anything to do with it, though, I understand his right to project his opinion and thought in any form he chooses, I just hope that stepping doesn't become a symbol without substance.

I also love the movie Animal House. It was also co-written by Chris Miller, who is an Alpha Delt. For that reason, I am particularly fond of it.
