Here in the South I've only heard the terms stroll/strut. Personally, I use both. As far as a Zeta song is concerned, everyone likes to label us with the Here Kitty Kitty song and clearly some of us in the south do not like that song, especially our chapter. We do have a chapter song right now, 'Ima Do Something Bad' by Big Tuck. As far as the jackets are concerned I have seen all types of things and I just say, "Do you!" Everyone is unique in their own way. We actually had our jackets made before we crossed and they were all the same format: Ind. line name, line number, and line name, chapter, shield, we got collared up "Legendary" wit our ZPhiB.

ZKA Essence of Pearl
"Mighty" Penta (5)
Fall '05 (yes Ima neo all day everyday)
Blue Flames of Virtue

Here in the Middle Tennessee area ( Nashville) everyone line dances to Set It Off.
But of course the Ques song is Atomic Dog.

Interesting. I was at a gathering the other night with a lot of my greek friends. I showed some AKAs and a Kappa the stroll. I personally like it due to it being ghetto. Anywho, a GK raised, made GM, AKA was devastated. She said that was very ghetto and borderline Delta. She's used to prissy strolls. Nothing to where you would ever be ghetto and go to the ground. She's never seen a GK woman do that. I haven't either. A Beta Pi, GM, and Iota Phi AKA thought it was cute, but the Beta Pi said ZM could have it. She said she would think BA would do something like that due to Luke being big in Florida. I've seen Beta Pi do something similar to that, yet it was slower. They all agreed that Set It Off is what they are used to. A BZ Kappa said he strolls to Candy. I meant to ask the Delta what they stroll to, but I was to busy asking her about something else that I was wondering about and finally got the answer. I'll ask her next time I see her. I'll also see what the Zeta says concerning the song her chapter strolls to.

ETA: It has been brought to my attention that my post wasn't clear on how I showed my friends the stroll. They viewed via the same link that I viewed. They did not view me imitating the stroll. This message is for anyone that thought of such.

I know that you can say whatever you choose on a message board, but I would recommend that a non-greek not post some things.

Admitting to doing the stroll of an organization to which you do not belong is one of those things. Yes, it was done in the company of friends that may or may not have had a problem with that, but I am sure you are aware that the members of GC are not your friends.

Don't give people ammunition to use against you. I wish you well.

Thanks for your concern. I showed them the stroll on the Internet. I will edit my post to make sure no one else takes that the wrong way.

I think that's a good idea, and once again good luck on your journey!

1. This must have been a boring arsed gathering if the entertainment was you showing everybody a link to my sorors strolling.

2. So, what were you taking notes of everyone's reactions and the chapter and organization that they were from?

3. Watch your mouth calling my sorors' stroll ghetto.

Down in Cali we call it "Training". Like "Set out a train soror!". We don't call it strolling. Only the Ques call it "setting a hop out".

The Songs that come to mind right now are:

Deltas "One more Chance" by Biggie(the remix with Faith and dem) When this song comes on, we have a train that we call "attitude" that we do.
QTE

This is interesting because down in Florida/SAR Biggie's "One More Chance" is the Unity Stroll...It wasn't mentioned before but the unity stroll is a stroll with simple identifiable stroll movements of one's org because the dance floor/area will be packed because every org will be doing their org's version of the unity stroll at once.

If anyone wants AKA unity stroll breakdown PM me

Songs
Alphas: Mic Checka
AKAs: Set it Off
Kappas: Candy (the instrumental and hip hop mix)
Omegas: Atomic Dog
Deltas: To Be Real

As far as lines go:
1.I've never heard of ship until gc...my LSs are just that line sister
2. Lines are height order so are numbers
3. Someone from yours or another org who has the same number as you is you're Izm if they cross when you do their your Sands
4. The person in front of you is your Front the person behind you is your Back...if a picture is taken of the 3 of you it is a Front/Back picture..(my personal fav)
5. The front of the line is called the Ace, number two is called the Deuce, number ten on the line is called the Dime, the person at the end of the line is called the Tail

As far as distinguishing phrase if I see names with mouse, pearls, pink, or frog and capitalized Ks in them I'll probably think you're my soror ex. line name I know of MouseKteer or names with PearlfeKtion acheived PinKy and the Brain.

On that not I know that Kappas have over time seemed to change a lot of words with Cs at the beginning to Ks I've noticed that sorors (I include myself) have taken not only to capitalizing
AKA in words like AKApella or Miss AmerAKA but simply just a K (though this is done in the middle of words mostly, not in the beginning) ex. MouseKteer...is this old school I don't think it is but has anyone else seen and increase in the use of capitalized Ks or known of the use...I should mention down here we are also called Ks.
