Not only do the guys step, the ladies do too. Watch Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. get their step on.

This is awesome! So inspiring and filled with goodness. It would be very cool to see these guys actually in Africa showing their steps and chants off to some ethnic African warriors to get their reaction.

All Greeks represent! HBCU's stand UP!! Howard University Alum!!

If you've never been to an HBCU step show, you have to see it in person.

I love your idea anniefree! Steppin' is a pull from our African heritage and ways of communication during slavery.
