By now most of you have heard and watched the winners of this year Sprite Step Off Competition. I definitely like step competitions and I was on my high school step team back in the day, but I didn’t really follow the competition this year. But when I heard a white sorority won the sorority portion of the competition, I had to check these ladies out for myself. Was it really possible for a non-black Greek organization to win this national step competition?? Aren’t the members of the Divine 9 supposed to be the best??
Obviously the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha came into the competition to prove everyone wrong! Now I didn’t get a chance to see the other competitors, but I can say that the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha definitely worked it out!! They came to STEP!!! (Watching them made me want to step again!)

Unfortunately, because others who have seen the show do not share your views Keri, the Coco-Cola company reversed the victory and award the prize to two teams; the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority and an Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter from Indiana. Coco-Cola said it was a scoring error that they did not catch during the competition. The company buckled under the comments of ignorant people who do not share your inclusionist views on stepping. They feel that a white sorority, who took it upon themselves to be so passionate and dedicated about an aspect of our culture that they became as good if not better than our own frats and sororities, was not worthy of the title that only we should possess. Silly me, I thought imitation was the highest form of flattery.
