Step Show Controversy ; And should be allowed to Sorority House to be winning a historic step for blacks competition? Judges step Elf – Stop the challenge I think so. And girls from Zeta Tao Alpha, a sorority is dominated by White from the University of Arkansas won by five other teams to win the coveted prize of $ 100,000 in the national Sprite step out of competition at the end of last week.
This issue since then, has caused a lot of uproar that Elf Roy called parity between the Association and Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter in the Tao, a black sorority. Both teams will now return to their homes with $ 100K prize. While the issues surrounding arbitration in the competition is debatable (we may never know why the Elf decided to call a draw after all) and we should not be surprised that the black Greek tradition, like a lot of African American culture in general continue to evolve in the culture.
“The others always be attracted to what you’re doing, and would like to participate,” Lawrence Ross, author of “The Divine Nine: History of African-American fraternities and women’s associations,” tells The Associated Press. “If (Black ASO) Shani Davis was prevented from speed skating just because traditionally, African Americans were not in the field, and we will be in the weapons.”
Do we have double standards?
