  • this is exactly why i love AKA's!!

  • OMG, why am I just now seeing this video?? WORK IT SORORS!!!!!!!

  • Was this before or after they lost the Sprite step-off to that white step-team from Virginia? If it was after, I can see why they had to drop some of the pinky-action and hair-twirling, and add a little more stepping in there...

  • @nothighleftbehind This was the original show before they edited it for the Sprite Step Off.

  • Good job sister greek.

  • Agree with you NJNupe 1911 (from 11 months ago). No one should die pledging. It is not that serious! I went to Howard, so I give props to all these groups.

  • Dang, i love this show everything is on point!!!

  • these ladies killed it. IN HEELS!!! i cannot say anymore. [ SPEECHLESS. ]

  • i'm impressed they did all that in heels.

  • @bfree2live If you look closely, those are the type of heels that my mother would wear because they are more stable for the ankles. But, over all they did a great job!!

  • IM GONNAH BE A AKA!AT HOWARD!!!

  • ahah "Can't keep your legs closed? There's an app for that!" I was there, and I think that was the best out of them all. They did an amazing job

  • OH S*** THEY DID ALL THAT IN HEELS!!! mad props to you ladies! :)

  • The FIRST is always the BEST!

    Great job Sorors!

  • THEY KILT IT!!! OMG!!

  • Howard is the nation's leading HBCU and their stage looks like that...smdh

    These ladies murdered this, flawless execution

  • Actually this is not at Howard, this is the DC Armory. HU Stopped holding the stepshow on campus when the demand grew too high. They needed a stadium to fit the amount of people who wanted to attend every year.

  • This is NOT on the campus of Howard University. It is at the DC Armory Stadium like ohsofair stated because it holds 10,000 people since the demand for this Howard Homecoming event to hold in Cramton Auditiorium, which seats about 1,500. BIG difference.

  • @NewJeruzPrincess

    This was at an outside location, the step show did not take place on our campus. Thank you.

  • Got it

  • It wasn't on campus. Howard Homecoming step shows are ALWAYS at the DC Armory!

    HU Alum C/O '01!!!!!!! 2nd Floor Frazier!!!!!

  • @NewJeruzPrincess This was held at the DC Armory which holds 10,000 people.

  • YALL BETTER GO OFFFFF

  • I love this.....the Alpha chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha definitely ain't playing games......so honestly DST might want to step up the game next year. Plus the AKAs are probably planning for next year already

  • @Clarinet07 please live in the here and now, next show will take care of itself.

  • Absolutely amazing! Can't stop watching this video! That first step is AWESOME! Gotta learn it! lol My wife gotta be an aka...

  • @6:42 I hear you girl. They DID go in!!! lol, Good Job Ladies

  • DAMN! They merked it! AKA's Great job to you ladies, respect!

  • Hold up, who gives a fuck if people sign papers or not? Should that really matter? Hell I rather signed papers than get my ass whopped for "respect". Respect my asses shit!!! They did really good!!!

  • @Bitchy87, what are you really saying honey? sign papers what? They are not paper, speak for yourself and not for this chapter nor any other AKA chapter.

  • Sign papers as in skatting or not pledging like the rest of the other sorrorities. You know exactly what I am talking about and this goes to all the skatters. There is nothing wrong with signing papers to be honest. Be proud of it. If your chapter does not sign papers, then good for you, but let me make it clear to you that many chapters do not participate in "pledging" or "hazing", which is good, My point was that I would rather much sign than get my ass whooped.

  • are the ladies that did the stunt in the beginning cheerleaders for HU?

  • OK black people enough is enough. The K's won because the show was great. I shared the show with a youth group and some of the kids stated they would work harder to get into college and join a black greek letter organization upon arrival. Please SGRhos stop the madness it 's not ladylike and everytime we go back and forth over petty, petty chaos we have slapped our founders in the face. It takes a bigger person to accept defeat and move on. STOP THIS GANG LIKE BICKERING. It's useless...

  • Sorors wonderful African project, do not see how you have the time, but it was wonderful.

    How much was raised this year sorors?

  • LOL duplicators and imitators gonna try to imitate this AKA show LOL!!!!!

    They will STEAL a show like this one, feel sorors on that!

  • The Lord and probably everyone else knows i love my future wife... (An AKA women lol)

    Yall murked it.

    I have never seen AKAs step so agressive i freakin love it.

    I'm like a step expertise and i look at competitive shows and try to beat them... this is def a show to do that with. You guys had energy, stuck to the theme, and and had all of the personality in the world. Skit... hilarious and general. Very classy.

  • got no words

  • My sorors, my lovely lovely sorors..... just...... too, KCRAZY!!!!!! SKEEEEEEEEEE-WEEEEE!!!!

  • Skee mutha'effin' Wee kids!!!!!

  • Sorors, you worked it out!!! Great job! Kudos Alpha chapter!

  • This was really good ladies!!!! very creative

  • SO much hating when we should be saying, " Congrats"....wonderful ladies. SKEE Weeeeeee!

  • Some greeks steal, so I CANNOT say that all greeks deserve their wins, but Alpha chapter worked it for this year.

    What is with the SGRhos, good gracious?

    Why did an Sghros flex and do an AKA move in the face of an AKA, seems she was jeaulous of all that "short hair and weave." If hers was all that -why did she have to front an AKA like that ?

  • @sophisticationmatter: So only AKAs can toss their hair in real life away from the step show stage? You might want to question your perspective if that's what you really think. Don't forget the incident happened off the stage.

    So basically, you don't sound smart right now, and you should step out of the Greek matrix - if you're Greek.

  • @jojapeach1922: you do not sound that smart yourself. I know it happened off stage. If an AKA was doing a well-known AKA step...why would a Sgrho front on her and do the AKA step in her face?

  • THE FIRST 45 seconds ALONE is one of the best intros to a step routine I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! PERIOD, POINT BLANK! The whole "Kill Bill" asylum thing was verrrry creative, who expects to see AKA'S rolling around on the floor, and doing hoisting each other up like cheerleaders? I LOVED IT! Because they didn't do what is normally expected from them. I WISH MY KAPPA BROTHERS COULD TAKE A NOTE FROM THIS. For one time only, I wish I could see a routine MINUS THE KANES. Everyone expects us to use them!

  • Looking at all the vids and the Howard stage is a 1 difficult to perform on ... wow 360 views, you have to engage the audience from all angles, and it looks like the dern thing is about to fall apart.. Good job my Sorors you all showed up and showed OUT! SKEEEEEE-WEEEEEEE!

  • In regards to cheating, the Homecoming steering comittee has always been comprised of a diverse array of students, not just greeks Coordinating the show takes tons of volunteers, and I doubt if anyone stood by the mics and pulled the chord. Everyone is very busy. The comittee wants the best show possible because they are judged by its presentation, not who wins. I don't get how an off mic could tank a stepshow. I doubt the unheard parts were so important that it would have changed the outcome.

  • As a Howard Alum, please believe Howard greeks get along just fine. I don't understand how anyone thinks these ladies did not step for the majority of the show. You could count down and use simple math to see that they did. Theses kind of statements are clearly false and lack credibility. If you don't like the show/style, thats fine, but could we atleast be honest with ourselves?

  • OK!!! LOL

  • And all of the sororities are hosting an event TOGETHER, OH THE HORROR!!! LOL

    What's the problem again?!!! LMAO

  • Like I said, I've never heard of the HU greeks beefing with each other, they have sense enough to leave it on the stage, only visiting greeks like to bring their disdain for another org to Howard's campus, so while you're on here crying foul, they've already moved on-THE HOWARD HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES ARE OVER!!! LOL

  • This is the 1st time I've heard of a visiting team crying foul at the step show, there is NO conspiracy theory, if you knew ANYTHING about Howard Homecoming step show, you would've realized that other visiting step teams HAVE won, like the Phi Beta Sigma all-star team in 2006, and various Kappa chapters in 2004 & 2005 (if I'm not mistaken). If you're good, THEN YOU'RE GOOD, and please believe that you need to be on your A game when coming to Howard, we WILL boo celebrities if you're wack. LOL

  • Ok Salty SGRhos, the crowd went wild for the AKAs, they won 1st place, THE END. it wouldn't have matter if they placed 2nd or 3rd anyway because they only "cut the checks" for the 1st place winners ONLY. LOL

    Nobody cut off your mics, it was about 8 chicks stepping in the DC Armory STADIUM. You could've done like many of the other step teams did: PRE-RECORD THEIR SPEAKING PARTS.

    Maybe the crowd didn't ooh and ahh because we've seen stepping like that before: the RESFEST step show. lol

  • Dog yawl went so hard...I sooo rock wit da K's, that's why I married 1 na!

  • Anyone who has anything negative to say about their performance is a str8 up HATER !!! PERIOD

  • I don't belive anyone is claiming that the show was perfect. None of the shows were perfect. In my opinion, their show was the best overall with a balanced mix of great stepping, intensity, and creativity. Everything has been done in step shows so creativity is important. I don't want to see the same thing everytime i.e. 10 minutes of straight stepping with no story or purpose. Completely integrating your steps with a theme, keeping it hype, and having a begining midde and end is not easy.

  • @leeu9--

    You're very funny...this 'paper' chapter wins national step shows, has been chapter of the year on campus and in the Region, continually has the highest GPA in the region and its members continually dominate campus activities...Perhaps YOUR primary concern is stepping and your lack of understanding of a real 'pledge' process; but THIS chapter can handle it all AND hold it down.

  • I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT. I'm really getting sick of people screaming PAPER as a way to demean a person or chapter. WHO CARES IF SOMEONE STUDIDED, TOOK THE TEST, AND WAS ALLOWED INTAKE? Nowadays that is the SAFEST WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET INTO OUR ORGANIZATIONS NOW! A young man from Prarie View who was online for Sigma JUST DIED PLEDGING!!! ALL FOR THE SAKE OF NOT BEING VIEWED AS PAPER! AS LONG YOU DEDICATE YOURSELF TO THE GOALS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION PAPER OR NOT YOU ARE FINE WITH ME!

  • well saiid

  • THE PAPER TALK ? OK!

    This is getting OLD!!!!

    These girls know each other and that is evident in this show, please let us stop PAPER TALK!

  • feel that gotmypearls

    LOL duplicators and imitators gonna try to imitate this AKA show LOL

    They will STEAL a show like this one, feel sorors on that!

  • I love these haters...Skee-Wee! great job!!! That is what make us....us

  • PageantQueen, I was going 2 address ur comment until I went to ur page. Obviously, u're going 2 see what u want 2 see. The AKAs killed it, they were creative, energtic, clean & classy, something I can't say 4 every female team.

    Everyone is entitled 2 his/her own opinion, but not everyone is knowledgeable enough 2 evaluate & assign worth 2 stepping. The judges made their decision & deemed that 1)it was enough stepping 2)it wasn't 2 much dancing & 3)they AKAs were the WINNERS!

  • this is a good show. I need to watch Part II (if I can find it), but I would say that it seems a bit 'choppy' so far. Not enough of a balance between stepping and showing small step/dance 'snippets.' Good steppng and performance, but slightly fragmented.

  • Really?!! 1 step and the rest dancing??!! Lets review: Intro, stepping, Iphone skit, short dance transition, tribute steps, more steps, outro skit, a bit more stepping, and done. That doesn't seem like complete dancing to me. The

    Alpha Chapter usually steps in suits with pumps. Its their thing, and probably has something to do with the whole AKA "serious matter" deal. Suits= equal serious business! Hope that helps, It might be too much dancing and/or skits for you but there was plenty of steps

  • 1) what show are you watching?

    1b) if you were watching this show, have you seen both parts?

    This show was great. Period. Stop hating.

  • Y0 MY CAMPUS PAL JASMiA KiLLED!!!

  • Good job sorors! Congrats on the win! I have one question though? A friend of mine just told me that he heard the Beta Alphas where suspended from Howard. Is this true? Can someone tell me why and how long? Peace....

  • Yes they are suspended, and the rumored reason is hazing. How long? I'm not sure. I don't know why any greek org would put themselves in that position, ESPECIALLY on Howard's campus. Hell, the Kappas JUST came back on the yard in 2007, and they were off for almost 10 years. smh

  • its true--2 years is what I was told...

  • AKAs...Fantastic creativity. You had the crowd going from the start. Congratulations, ladies.

    (sigh)...gone are the days of fairplay and fun. All of the organizations I'm sure put forth great efforts. The show should have been all about showing pride in your organization and having fun celebrating homecoming week. Dang! What's with all of the hostility, ladies? It's a friggin STEP SHOW!

    .......smh@paper greeks

  • Comment removed

  • What's with the "paper" talk? Clearly you're showing some hostility. Paper or not, these ladies clearly have excellent communication and organizational skills, they work very well together, they have always been involved in their community,they are scholastic achievers who go on to lead sucessful lives. Isn't THAT what's IMPORTANT? As a people we shoud focus on what we DO, not who we are. They DO a lot. For the record, all of the greeks share these characteristics on Howard's campus.

  • People nowadays called chapters with very large memberships paper chapters, when the original meaning of this derogatory term was for members who were inactive doing work but had no problem repping with their nalia. SMH

    I also find it VERY SAD that many of greeks are shitting on the place where it all started: HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Yes, 5 of the 9 greek orgs on campus are ALPHA chapters, so maybe they're still carrying themselves the way their prophytes, YOUR ORG FOUNDERS, taught THEM.

  • I SEE YOU #63 Go Ashley!!!!!!

  • It was a good show. But in GENERAL I think female step teams are judged more favorably on costume, theatrics, and themes. Seems to be more common that winning female teams have that going. And that winning male teams might have a tight theme, but definitely some serious steps & stunts.

  • There's an app for that....LOL...the best!

  • All i hav eto say is PHIIIIIIII SKEEEEEE!!! DAMN GOOD JOB!!

  • SKEEEEEEEEEEEWEE SORORS!!!! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!

  • Congrats Sorors! Ya'll did that!

  • don't agree, been judging 4 yrs, they were on point. music good. first part straight.

  • foruchocoholics you a little off on your remarks, everything was well placed even the music, cheerleaders' thing was hot.

  • did they take of their shoes at one point?

  • I think their shoes came off, omigoodness- you gotta to look at the other show to see

  • Yes they did take them off...I was there. They did it when they said they tamed the cat aka Zetas!!

  • you gotta give it up for the girl with ipod

  • great why all da' raggin'

  • great show ladies. YES I am VERY SAD the Deltas did not win, but gotta give credit where credit is due....CONGRATS!!

  • Oh Lord, enough with all the back and forth about what happened off stage and with people who dont even go to my Alma. I thought the focus was the step show. Geez!

  • "Want to be the first...it's too late for that!" LMBO!!! BE OUT SORORS! Kill't em!

  • Where did that come b/c it seems like that was a big part of the skit

  • Comment removed

  • Everyone is missing the point. We NEVER said the AKAs didn't have a good show. No one is taking that away from them. You won't see any comments stating that the SGRhos think they should have taken 1st. The point of all the comments has been people are hating on us without us having to say anything and that's totally independent of the AKAs show. Kudos to them for being owt, they deserved 1st, but just as much as they deserve 1st we deserve respect.

  • well said!

  • That was sooooo buck! Congrats on your win! Great show!

  • *our spare time

  • If we weren't hot in the streets and all over Youtube, you wouldn't take the time in your day to memorize our past routines. That's lame and you were obviously SCARED that we were gonna come with it. So that's why you were on YouTube checking us out. But don't trip cause none of the SGRhos in Cali are checking for Howard cause we don't care. We have lives to live and stepping is just something we do in ur spare time. Hahahaha!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • "HATERS!! How do I gain your favor?! I need to know cause I care! I need you to love me I swear!!!" Lmao... Smh, people just don't know how to give credit where credit is due. We, as in SGRho, could care less about all this drama. We don't spend our days crying over spilled milk. And for those of you who weren't there or didn't see what happened... SSSSHHHH!!!!! Because you Don't Know the real...

  • @ CGRANTOL... plzzz get a NEW ROUTINE! dat routine yall did is played out!! from cali long beach state stepshow!

  • I was clearly making a response to what you said in your comment. How about you respond to what I said. I said nothing about my routine.

  • And if it was not you who I was replying to then you need to stay in your lane

  • dats my 5cents! yall show was whack and played out! dnt take the ROUTINE into 2010!! ;)

  • No, really. Stop taking energy to hate on my soRHOrs that you're stalking. You know our shows too well.

    Congrats to the AKAs because the show (minus the dissing) was excellent, and I loved the iPhone. Y'all had me at the first minute, and I loved it through the last minute.

  • Comment removed

  • sorors AMAZING

  • AKA's were being OWT! NICE JOB LADIES!

    SHGRHos need to find another theme and other steps!!! ...cause they be having that same ROUTINE at every stepshow!...from they won the cali long beach state stepshow they been reppin that same ROUTINE! GIVE IT UP ALREADY!... ITS not gonna win every STEPSHOW!

  • LMBO!!! OH BUT IT HAS THUS FAR! Thanks for being one of our biggest supporters because clearly you have seen all our shows on youtube! LOL. You think you're clowin but your not, this is our first "L"

  • lol, wow

  • If that were true, you would have come in 2nd place, not last...grow up. No one cut your mics. Technical difficulties happen all the time--musics not right, video does start on time, sound system sucks...a great show can overcome that.

  • Work it SAWRAHS..... skee-wee!

  • i am too old to be commenting, but the silence of the lambs theme is hot!

  • @27bosslady: Thanks for the points of clarification....I just know on my camera I see a bunch of colors being less than cordial....lol. I didnt say it was the HU AKAs or SGRhos...but I know what I have on tape and it doesnt lie.

    @Bison: The shows Ive seen are alot less intense. The themes are usually very cookie cutter. i.e. The UMCP AKAs did a Fairly Toyland. I really liked this show bc they were entertaining and actually stepping. I also appreciated that they stuck with the theme.

  • @bisonlady: Well, i do see what she may have been saying....they did step hard which is atypical for any AKA shows that I've seen *note I said "that I'VE seen"....Yea, we saw them...Im not sure how ladylike fighting the SGRhos was but that's neither here nor there....

  • The AKAs did not FIGHT the SGRhos...The SGRhos were a little upset about something, maybe being SGRHos, I dont know, They got "Crunk" by themselves...and the Alphas separated the AKAs and the SGRhos...now what happened between the Alphas (Non Beta Chapter) and the SGRhos (Not howard SGRhos either) I cant call it...but I am sure I got the AKA and SGRro confusion right ;-)(Howard University Greeks have more class and tact than that...we know each other and we are always cordial)

  • I have to agree 100% with you on that, the HU greeks have NEVER fought each other like that, regardless if they're on campus or at a step show. They do their trash talking on the stage and leave it there, so it HAD to have been AKAs, SGRhos, or whomever from another school/chapter

  • Agreed! And, as we can see CGRANTOL is from California. So, case closed.

  • CGrantol,

    Being proud of yourself and your organization is cool, but be honest, the AKAs won because they had the best show this year. Two parts diss, the rest class, style, entertainment, creativity, energy and precision.

  • This is bull because it's okay for the Deltas to outright fry the AKAs the last few years but because the AKAs got tired and they came back this year......yall hating!!! Please let them have this one because I'm sure next year is gonna be awesome...........again Alpha Chapter congrats!!!

  • My comment was about something that happened off stage involving me, so maybe you are replying to the wrong person. The AKA show was good as was the SGRHO show. If you want to know how I fell about the SHOW and not the event that happened off stage then check the comments I left on the SGRHO video about the politics and rules of the show.

  • Say that, SoRHOr!

  • Dislcaimer: all remarks made by Celebrhoty are actually being made by Ni'Kysha. Her prophyte, I don't hide behind names.

    Let's get this straight, the SGRHOs didn't fight the AKA's either and for the record none of my Sorors will ever be upset about being an SGRHO. Clearly we love our org which is why we joined. Keep your little snide remarks to yourself. We were upset because an AKA decided to flip my neos hair. Now people may get away with doing that kind of stuff in DC but not in Cali.

  • AHHHHHH Tell Em Ni! lol

  • Yeah, well the Howard AKAs have always stepped hard......................and in their skirt suits, LOL. I've yet to see otherwise for them. That's how we do it at Howard, LOL. :o)

    What is considered ladylike stepping for the AKAs? I know I've seen other chapters step in all types of costumes and themes. IDK

  • Get it Sorors! A ear piercing Skee-Wee to all of you efforts and hardwork. You make us proud neos.

  • Comment removed

  • LOL @ MsPearlsandIvy: Dont worry they did enough primping, posing, and hair flipping after the show on the side of the stage and on stage to make up for anything you'd consider "unladylike" in their show....that stuff doesnt entertain, enthrall or win shows...however, what they did in their show does! There's a time and place for the prissiness (IMO)

    Your Sorors did an excellent job, you should be proud of them. Really.

  • I don't see how they were unladylike either, the Alpha Chapter AKAs ALWAYS step in skirt suits and pumps at the homecoming shows, and a cute little sweater/cardigan combo and skirt WITH pumps at other events/shows. They also wear shorts under those suits if you're concern about that too. They sit and clap ladylike too, lol (you gotta keep your eye on them at the shows to see it, they're so cute with it). That's one thing I can say about the Alpha Chapter members, they ALWAYS come proper. ;o)

  • I wish whoever recorded this wouldve gotten their video at the beginning....like I said, this video doesnt do this show justice at all.

  • I was there in person. The vids dont do the show justice. The ladies of AKA really showed up and showed out. I was thoroughly impressed and Ive never seen AKAs step so hard and so well. I loved the theme and when they did the scene from my fave scene of my fave movie....I was too undone.

    I love my D-S-T...but their win was well deserved and I will always give props where props are due. They definitely tore it up.

    Good job ladies!

    DST Diva

  • Sorry, Sorors. I guess I'm too, too old school. I don't like it at all. Not feminine, not prissy and not refined.

  • Yea, it might just be a generation gap...these ladies killed...

  • I totally disagree. These ladies stepped hard, but were under control and precise. What more could you ask for? The show was intense, but the theme was an insane asylum. They captured the essence of every frat and still managed to maintain their poise and composure. The Ladies of Alpha Chapter clearly demonstrated that you can win a stepshow by being physical and still step like ladies. Awesome show!
