So is imitation really the sincerest form of flattery?

I totally felt like I was watching a cheerleading competition routine, minus the stunts. You know the formula...hip hop dance with robot like movements, stop and do a cheer (or I guess STEP in this case), and then back to the robot like dancing.

Like Shid said, I also know several schools that have step contests. To reiterate what was said earlier, the NPHC usually coaches one group and helps them out. It's a great way to get the greek community together. And, if you have ever seen the farm boys from AGRho get out there and really attempt to step, you've probably had a pretty good laugh. The ones I have been to have been honest attempts to learn the art and skill of stepping. It's never been done in a sarcastic way. Most of the routines are choreographed by the NPHC steppers.

The Kappas aren't very good at the little bit of stepping they did, but at least they gave it a try. They definitely aren't even close to the level of some groups I have seen. But, I applaud them for the effort.

I felt the same. I was amused. It was very cute and they were cute in their "beaters and kicks".

I was pretty amused. Definitely reminded me of my cheerleading days, with the formations/formation changes. Whatever the reason, I'm glad that they were prepared (as evidenced by their preformance), cuz a sloppy show of any kind is not cute.
