I remember when a fraternity was invited to step at the state fair for some kids and it worked out very well. But surely they could've done something other than step.
BTW, what's up with the Philly Greek? Is the Philly NPHC going to bring it back to its glory days?  |
We aren't only invited to step but I think the Alumnae chapters are contacted to step at city events because these days, since stepping (lately due to movies like "Stomp the Yard") has become so commercial and since people now know that it started with the BGLO's, everyone wants steppers at their events no matter what the event is for. The undergrads get invited to perform at colleges but for other events, the alumnae chapters are called on. The part that makes me mad is that we are so eager to get out there and show the community who we are that the groups often do go and perform. They feel like some representation is better than no representation but I don't see it that way. I think that if we want them to stop thinking about us only in terms of stepping then we have to stop stepping every damn where....especially at events that are completely unrelated. As for the greek, we are still having it this year, as always in July. In recent years, they have been trying to play it down and not really advertise to the public. Unfortunately people these days are out of control and all kinds of unnecessary foolishness was occuring before and it was reflecting badly on the NPHC, so it will never be as big as it used to be back in the day, unless people change their horrible behavior and gutter butt ways overall and you know we don't see that happening any time soon.
