No strollign isn't specifically for the black community, but if you wanted to start your own traditions start them based ony your own culture, if you started and Asian or majority Asian sorority why would stroll like a black one?
However, it is copy cat. You dont see Phi Mu's ADPi's AOPi's etc strolling cause it isnt one of their traditions. Moreover on the issue of Black Greeks using the greek alphabet and it being a white alphabet, that's BS, greek alphabet is what? BASED ON STUFF EURO's STOLE FROM AFRICA. but the performance was cute
Thanks for the complement. But, arguing that the "Europeans" stole the Greek alphabet from Africa is a bit problematic. Many scholars say that the Greek alphabet was derived from the Phoenician alphabet, so you could even say that it was derived from a West Asian alphabet system.
I totally understand that, but I said it's BASED on it, we cannot assume that one language and/or alphabet is completely created upon the same culture, lest we forget parts of Europe have been stealing and corrupting many parts of different cultures for centuries
Though I am not greek I kind of have speak on this cause I am a person of facts. Strolling is traditionally African, look into the Nupe tribe (not Kappas but the tribe) Zulu, Yoruba, Ibo etc. It's totally understandable if you as a minority wanted to stroll, more power to ya.
That's a damn shame... Minorities hating on another fellow Minority...
Sorry to tell you this but NPHC members who judged our performance thought it was pretty hot!!! They gave us the winning Trophy to take home...
To the haters, you've brought a bad name for your respective organization... your comments were racism in the works... strolling is not strictly for the black community... SO GROW UP!!!

it's a stroll performance, basically 3 strolls formed into one for the Unity Mixer showcase
no one had a problem with our technique and we had great support from our judges, respectively: a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha, a sister of Delta Sigma Theta, and the advisor for the Multicultural Greek Council.
Oh, now the truth comes out. Your sorority sister LIED... BOLDLY! She said the men of APHIA gave you the trophy as in they were the only judges. I hate when people distort the truth, as if it were saying something b/c an ALPHA gave you the trophy.. We dont have a connection with them!
Right, you have established that you have no affiliation with the Alphas but like you said it is the CULTURE of NPHC orgs that created strolling... do you have sole authority to grant what is considered true strolling? Things have changed since the last 98 years, Vive la differencia!!
Good for you mother, but if that's not strolling why don't you show us what is? Your bro at Zeta Pi liked it enough to give us the trophy. Too bad AKA is off the yard at UGA. :-/
It's messed up how your insecurities are acting on the behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Next time you see a hot stroll you should be more confident because hating on our stroll doesn't make yours any hotter.
That's all I have to say. I have nothing against AKA.
What in blue hell does the AKAs not being on the yard there have to do with me? I'm not insecure, how can that be a hot stroll? ITS NOT STROLLING. I joined the org i wanted to be a part of and my orgs CULTURE created strolling. B tru to yours. Know what you're speaking of before you open your lips, unless my national office didnt inform me when i was brought in WE HAVE NO BRUHS. No disrespect to DPHIL as an org. Get your weight up before you try to go toe-to-toe with information about my org.
Alright, so you're saying that since "your" culture created strolling, we should be true to "our" culture. Just so you know, we, meaning "you and i" share the same culture. We are both American. Just because our skin is a little bit different or my last name sounds more foreign does NOT mean Asian Greek strolls are going to have AUTHENTIC Asian dancing because that's not what we are about.
A LOT of us did not grow up in Asia, therefore, how are we going to FRONT like we dance in an Asian style? We dance like you do. We listen to the same music. That's why we are being TRUE to ourselves and STROLLING.
So WHY did you start a sorority? If your culture is my culture and my culture is your culture then why not just join one of our orgs? Strolling is not american culture genius, neither is stepping. It comes from AFRICAN culture. You still cant explain to me why you want to be like us. We didnt found our organizations by doing what the white organizations that already existed did, we do our own thing.
And YES, it's strolling. Just because our STROLL does not have an A train in it, is it disqualifed as a stroll. I know that you might get used to doing the same thing after a lifetime of strolling, but open your eyes some. Your remarks are REAL ignorant and you disgrace yourself by representing your organization in such a way.
First off, dont call me ignorant (NOR my comments) and i wont be forced to call YOU something else. A life time of strolling? The same thing? I can out stroll your group... BY MYSELF! And who in the hell does an "A-train" get your facts right, weight up and APPLY to get on my level. Go play
Actually, just by modeling your organizations after the fraternity system is something that white organizations started. So don't think that it just came out of the blue. Of course you applied your own traditions, but you're still wearing the same letters that any white sorority girl does. Do you think you came up with the letters Alpha Kappa Alpha? You give yourself too much credit.
oh, by the way... it's called the "Fraternal System..." shees, you're such a duschbag. you need to like, know of what you speak before parting your lips. *rolling eyes and flipping hair* DO BETTER and Get your weight up.
I would like to see you TRY to out stroll us by yourself. You obviously have no sense of a LINE. You would look like a fool. For someone that claims to know what strolling is, I'm surprised you think you could pull that off. Wouldn't you need your sorors? Or did you cross by yourself? You are too proud.
Since when do you need a 'line' to stroll? YOU are the one who doesnt know about strolling. If i only have ONE LS then we would be strolling, poopy head and yes you can 'stroll' by yourself stupid. LOL. I'm too proud? You're damn right, with 98 years under my orgs belt, i'm one of the proudest females on the planet. Get ya weight up. *in the words of OPP* and I'm gone. Alright.Alright.
It's like saying since when do you need SISTERS to have a SORORITY. You said you would stroll by yourself like you are your whole chapter. If you have ONE OTHER LS that equals 2 people retard. Strolling alone, meaning strolling with one person is not strolling, it's called dancing by yourself.
I'm tired of you and your ignorance. Yes, ignorance. While strolling and stepping is based on African culture, it is African-AMERICAN culture that allowed it to become a universal phenomenon for Greeks today. I am not dumb, I give credit to African-Americans to paving the way for minorities like myself. But FYI, you did not create strolling and therefore, you cannot dictate what is and is not.
LOL you're not tired of my 'ignorance' fool, you play right into my hands. I'm done playing with you puppet. Imitation is the sincerest form of latery ;) LATA hata!
I see you DPhi!
