Stomp the Yard

It was okay but I didn't like the way it made us look like stepping is at the center of everything we do and getting into our organizations is all about how well you can step or dance. I didn't like that at all. IMO, the creators/directors/producers wasted their opportunity to positively counter the stereotypes in "School Daze" and really show those who know nothing or very little about NPHC greeks, what we're really about. I think the movie could have still been entertaining even with scenes of the greeks performing community service, hosting an educational program or two, etc. They could have done a much better job at showing the whole picture while still focussing on the stepshow competition at the end of the movie. I'm a Writer so as soon as I saw the movie, all of these ideas popped into my head about how I would have changed and presented some things. And it doesn't take a genius to come up with what I did. I went to see the movie when it first came out and I'm still answering questions like "How well do you have to step to get into a sorority or fraternity?" Bottom line: The makers wasted a good opportunity to show the world who we are and to dispel the myths.
