Compared to last year’s homecoming, having the step show back on campus and other events on campus put the “home” back in Homecoming.
The first steppers of the evening were the 102 Jamz Steppers. They started the combination off with the song “Na, Na, Na” by 112 featuring Super Cat. However, no more than one minute into their routine, the sound system stopped working and the steppers were forced to leave the stage. After the 15-minute interruption, the 102 Jamz steppers were brought back up on stage to complete their routine. The group quickly regained their focus and came out strong.
From the sororities the Zeta’s took first place, the AKA’s took second place and the Deltas took third place. From the fraternities the Alpha’s took first place, the Q’s took second place and the Sigma’s took third place.
The Zeta’s proved that they deserved first place. The ladies of Zeta Phi Beta had on blue see-through outfits proving that size does not matter. Not to mention that they also had three men on stage as guards oiled down and buff to perfection adorned with only a small cloth around their “goods”. The Zeta’s did a great job and seemed confident on stage.
The Alpha’s also proved that they deserved first place as they performed to the theme of Michael Jackson’s song “Remember the time”. The presentation was almost an exact duplicate of Michael Jackson’s music video. Everything from the beginning to the ending was dramatic and kept the audience on their toes.
Two Greek organizations that I believe deserved recognition were the Iota’s and the Delta’s.
The Iota’s may be few in numbers but they show that skills do not lie in numbers but raw talent. When the Iota’s came out at first they appeared to have a regular routine, but they proved nay-sayers wrong with their show. They started out their show by using one of their members as a human jump rope. Along with their serious side they also had a humorous side when they did one step making fun of the other fraternities and sororities present at the step show.
The theme of the of the Deltas show was “Delta-Vision” which centered around the theme of the first Mario Brothers by the original Nintendo. The presentation began with two Delta’s on stage acting as two little children playing the Mario Brothers from Nintendo.
When the steppers came out they were dressed like Mario and Luigi in red tee shirts and white overalls with 1913 on the right side of the pants and red combat boots. The Delta steppers acted out several levels of the popular game and even incorporated baby cooper, the enemy at the end of each level.
The Deltas show was very creative and they deserved at least second place.
I have to give it to the Kappas. Although I was unsure of their theme at least they didn’t drop their canes which is a major improvement.
