I must say for myself as a NUPE what gets me hype is that old school song "Pimp Daddy" or "One More Chance" by BIGGIE. I do associate the Set It Off song with AKA (they do the d@mn thing) and the Deltas with the "Drum Line" band song.

I've never seen the "traditional" strut either. I recently began hearing about a "national/universal" stroll a couple of months ago but I've never seen it. Is anyone familiar with it? I crossed in Florida and "Set it Off" is the only "universal" stroll I knew of until I moved to Texas.

Texas Sorors...is there more than 1 verson of the Scarred stroll? The stroll the Sorors are doing in the video is a little different than the one I've seen. Scarred is a fast song to stroll off of. My UG chapter had a stroll to it but I'd hurt myself if I tried to do it now.

Sorors Set It Off is definitely a SA Region thing, but on occassion some of us Sorors in the Great Great Lakes Region will rock that stroll at party's. Especially those of us that graduated from FAMU whether you were initiated through Beta Alpha or not. At Boule 2004 Soror PinkIvy and I were the two on the floor doing the Set It Off stoll at the hotel gala.

Also I know in Michigan when we stroll it is common to say "Sorors we're going to do National". Meaning the "Universally" known stroll. I'm sure you all have seen it. Ever region does it.
If anyone (Soror) wants it broken down pm me privately.

Here in the South I've only heard the terms stroll/strut. Personally, I use both. As far as a Zeta song is concerned, everyone likes to label us with the Here Kitty Kitty song and clearly some of us in the south do not like that song, especially our chapter. We do have a chapter song right now, 'Ima Do Something Bad' by Big Tuck. As far as the jackets are concerned I have seen all types of things and I just say, "Do you!" Everyone is unique in their own way. We actually had our jackets made before we crossed and they were all the same format: Ind. line name, line number, and line name, chapter, shield, we got collared up "Legendary" wit our ZPhiB.

Interesting. I was at a gathering the other night with a lot of my greek friends. I showed some AKAs and a Kappa the stroll. I personally like it due to it being ghetto. Anywho, a GK raised, made GM, AKA was devastated. She said that was very ghetto and borderline Delta. She's used to prissy strolls. Nothing to where you would ever be ghetto and go to the ground. She's never seen a GK woman do that. I haven't either. A Beta Pi, GM, and Iota Phi AKA thought it was cute, but the Beta Pi said ZM could have it. She said she would think BA would do something like that due to Luke being big in Florida. I've seen Beta Pi do something similar to that, yet it was slower. They all agreed that Set It Off is what they are used to. A BZ Kappa said he strolls to Candy. I meant to ask the Delta what they stroll to, but I was to busy asking her about something else that I was wondering about and finally got the answer. I'll ask her next time I see her. I'll also see what the Zeta says concerning the song her chapter strolls to.

ETA: It has been brought to my attention that my post wasn't clear on how I showed my friends the stroll. They viewed via the same link that I viewed. They did not view me imitating the stroll. This message is for anyone that thought of such.

I know that you can say whatever you choose on a message board, but I would recommend that a non-greek not post some things.

Admitting to doing the stroll of an organization to which you do not belong is one of those things. Yes, it was done in the company of friends that may or may not have had a problem with that, but I am sure you are aware that the members of GC are not your friends.

Don't give people ammunition to use against you. I wish you well.

Thanks for your concern. I showed them the stroll on the Internet. I will edit my post to make sure no one else takes that the wrong way.
