I think the point of debate is what defines a "dance team" vs. a greek sing type of event. I for one haven't been happy at the road dance teams have been taking for sometime now. My mother and sister were Strutters at TX State - a drill team, more or less. The dance team competitions that I've seen have been becoming more and more, um, provocative. The state of TX even had a bill introduced to outlaw sexually provocative dance teams and cheerleaders in public schools (it died on the floor, I believe).
If all of the sororities agreed to a certain type of dance for the competition, then it would remove the pressure to be more suggestive. Of course, this is not likely to happen if everyone is happy with the status quo. I happen to think that it is not in the best interests of the sororities as a whole to present themselves in that manner - I wouldn't want my daughters to participate in an event that so obviously is geared to a sexually suggestive format. I also think the Broadway-type competitions are also more artistically challenging overall, and I'd much rather sit through an evening of those than hours of pelvic thrusts and gyrations. JMHO -
