So are Alphas pictured in the movie or what? I saw the trailer and didnt think I saw any real letters

I saw real letters.

Originally, when I saw the first few trailers or whatever, I did see our letters in that jokah, however, some expeditious moves were made at our headquarters, and statements of infringement were thrown out there and those clips that showed our letters were taken out. Again, I think that this film is whack when it comes to the subject matter. I don't think that there should be a movie made about stepping, because of the sacred nature of what it means to step. Hollywood doesn't have to de-mystify every thang, shit. Some things need to remain private and sacred, not made into modes of entertainment and commercialized. Our pledge process is totally unique and unto us. Stepping is what comes as an end result of that journey.

Agreed!

Now that I think about it, I don't think I will be seeing it. I originally thought it was a documentary styled film, but after really seeing the trailers, I can say it doesn't look too appealing.
It'll be interesting to see how the lawsuit goes, though.

I still can't see it.

I get mad everytime I see that trailer come on. Never in my life have I seen two step teams battling...at the same...on the same stage. I personally haven't see that many men step together at the same time. Just seeing that many men wearing red jackets stepping together on the yard irks the devil out of me. Maybe it's realistic for a coming out show, but I don't like this fantasy version of Greekdom.

Maybe there's some hidden nugget of wisdom that they couldn't put in the trailers because wisdom in a flick about Greek Life wouldn't translate to dollars.

Me too! I have to turn the channel or leave the room.

I 'm not interested in spending money to see the movie.

As soon as the lawsuit was filed, I googled for the movie and found the trailer (as I had not heard of the movie or its production prior to the lawsuit filing). My fraternity letters could originally be seen in the early trailers. The letters originally seen on the jackets during the cafateria seen have since been removed in the current trailer.

they had real letters when they went to heritage hall, and i was upset because they had AKA and DST but did not mention or show ZphiB or SGRho...

I am confused - what did you mean about real letters? I only saw pictures.

I could have waited until it came out on free cable/DVD but support of the Alpha was key for me.
