If you have the answer, post it. I want to learn something new today. For real.

I can only think of the obvious, painted boots and brands. I was not trying to be smart, I really wanted your input. You are right, I did pledge in 1987, but I pledged AKA so that is my area of expertise. So, share your input, maybe others will join in as well.

and it's different at campuses because I pledged Zeta Sigma at U of H and we never HEAR "Brickhouse" so we never strut to it. But when "Scarred" comes on, it becomes a death match between us and the AKAs.

That hop that the Kappas were doing in the clip is the very reason why I hated being anywhere near them when I used to go to parties. All that jumping and side-kicking caused a bunch of issues.

LMAO! I didn't recognize any of that stuff (besides the Omegas, who are rather consistent nationwide). I quit watching after the NUPES.

The strut that Sorors were doing is done to "Scarred" by Luke. I believe that it originated in Texas, but has become the signature strut of the Sensational South Central region.

Which version?

Which "set it off" do AKA's stroll to? I've only seen AKA's stroll to the old school version "set it off on the left y'all set it off on the right y'all set it off", but someone told me they stroll to Monica's "Set it off", I will say the former is MUCH better

Both of them are pretty dayum close though. Anyway, here is a kall that is original to my FRAT (taking a deep breath)"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOOO-WOO!"

Motions in the struts vary from chapter to chapter too. Sometimes we'll do something kinda universal (Kick, International) out of town and mannnnn.... pinkys going up while other people rep the region while other people throw mirrors... I guess it's just individual flavor.

As far as jackets, I've never seen one with too much on it except on the internet. I'll be James Brown before I put all 18 of my LS's and our crossing times on my jacket!! But then again, my godmother has one with a huge ivy that covers the entire back and I thought it was a bit much. To each her own, I guess. Chapter, semester, line name and number is more than enough for me.

Also, I have a neo question for sorors - what song do you associate with us? I was wondering if this is regional as well. Down here it's

A Phi A - Pistol Grip Pump
DST - Brick House
Omegas - Atomic Dog
KAPsi - Flashlight
ZPB/PBS/SGRho/Iotas - ???

We have an Ivy Grip strut to "Pistol Grip Pump", but not really a recognized song. I've heard it's "Cutie Pie" by One Way, but we never play that here... I've also heard some song called "Set It Off"....anybody know? Zetas, Sigmas, SGRhos, Iotas... could you share yours, if you don't mind?
Sister Greek: In the North Texas area the songs are as follows--
Alpha - Pistol Grip
AKA - Cap D Coming (Uncle Luke)
Kappa - Flashlight
Omega - Atomic Dog
Delta - Pull Over (Trina)
Sigma - Mo' Bounce
Zeta - Here Kitty Kitty
SGRho - I Wanna Rock (Doo Doo Brown) Uncle Luke
Iota - ?????
