4-5 hour step shows. Well, not so much annoying as exhausting.

That AND stepshows that NEVER start on time, usually 1-2 hours late.  One of the reasons I stopped going to them.

what's worse is when the judges take 50-11 hours to decide on who won. its like come on already! and its usually apparent who won...
oh, i hve another one - people who wear dingy/dirty/2nd rate para. i know we sometimes be on a budget, but that doesnt mean you have to break out that 5 year old shirt with the hole you think no one will notice or the jacket that is a little bit too small. and please, stop making puffy paint shirts!!! i had to have an intervention once... it wasnt cute.
save your pennies and buy some good para. stuff that will last you. stuff that hopefully wont shrink, fade, and what not.

From someone who has judged step shows, the reason it takes so long is because we have to sit there and add up all the points for the different categories. Which brings me to another point. If your chapter (or group) is hosting the step show, please provide the judges with (cheap) calculators. Adding by hand / in your head really slows the judge down. Also, it is not always the judge's fault. We turn in the score sheets to the chapter (or group in charge), then it is up to them to get the results out in a timely manner.

aww, see i thought the real reason was deeper and more profound than that. like yall were deciding who deserved to win more, or playing rock paper scissor, or whatnot. sheesh. staples sells calculators for $3.99 in assorted colors. i will make sure everyone has one in their color(s) if it means we can save a 1/2 hr on a step show.
hey soror, quick question: do judges score teams after they perform or at the very end of the show?

No. There is no depth to it. But the rock, paper, scissors idea is not a bad one.... 
The way I ususally do it is to take notes in the margin and put down a few scores as the groups perform. It is usually pretty easy by the end of the night who has won.
Some groups step, some groups (mostly the guys) just stand there with their shirts off grinding the floor and each other while yelling offensive remarks about the other frats. And, I'm like 'dude, you're grinding the floor and each other and trying to call another frat gay????'

I'm not a fan of step shows but I love shows where you get points deducted for trying to sex the crowd. If you aren't going to step, do not enter into a step show competition. Save your sex and your offensive remarks about other frats for your bedtime routine.
I went to a show last week where there were HIGH SCHOOL students on stage gyrating to J.Holiday's "Bed." The crowd was yelling but my Sorors and I sat there like "  ." I even BOOO'd as they left the stage. Their mentors need to be flogged. The mc of the show said "yeah...I heard you all screaming...you forgot these are children...."

Step show judges don't have a national organization with meetings to make it all uniform (or do they?). There are judges who essentially do the rock paper scissors thing because they don't know what the heck they just finished watching. Whether groups are scored after each performs or at the end is sometimes based on the rules established for that show.
