I watched both videos and although I do believe the Reds did an excellent job I believe my sorors won. It's a matter of opinion on what stepping and stepping hard is. You don't have to tear down the stage to win a step show, there are so many various elements to a quality show and depending on the preferrences of the judges is who will bring home the trophy. Great Job both groups! Skee Wee my sorors continue to represent.
Okay, after watching both videos(Delta & AKA), I have to agree with the judges. The main difference was that the Delta's show was exciting throughout their entire performance. The Ks performance was a little dry at times. If my sorors hadn't done a better job, I wouldn't have commented at all, but overall I think my soror's performance was better. I do give props though-this was one of the better AKA shows I've seen. Congrats to the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
@MrOverlyCritical ...but it's not the only scoring area. Judges take into consideration the overall theme, the visual aspects (including outfits) and crowd participation. The overall theme would have to go to A.T., visuals could be a toss-up (B.P.'s backdrop was on point and A.T.'s outfits were hot), and the crowd would have to go to A.T. When it comes to stepping, I'd give A.T. the edge, because they had more technical steps. There's your winner right there... Alpha Tau!
@immigratty point taken, but one show presented more STEPPIN' then the other. The AT show was very watered down, whereas Beta Psi STEPPED. The Classic should really be interesting this year. I must say again that greeklife at the Southern University and A&M College has changed drastically!
@kidsclubs23 yea to each their own i think that the overall theme of dst was stronger which made it seem like they just went harder, at a step show that has to be taking into consideration, but i give props to both groups on doing and excellent job.
@striveforthe9 Greeks as a whole have changed at THE Southern University and A&M College. Hopefully this will encourage BETA PSI to step it up a bit! Again Bayou Classic should be interesting.
After watching the Delta Show and the AKA Show...even though I am an avid Delta supporter (ask anyone)...The AKA's show was much better. The Delta show was just ok...this show was great! loved the hair...:)
After watching both shows, i feel AKA did excellent but the Deltas did wonderful too, i think it could have went to either, just my opinion, now i do agree that it seems like the crowd was more into the Delta show, which could have been the make it or break it.
@TheStarr15 the stepping was great, just wish there was more of it and less dancing. for real, I would be angry had i gone to this show, when I go to stepshows I don't go to see a dance off, I go to see a STEPSHOW!!
@kidsclubs23 I don't understand. Why do you believe the Deltas cheated because they won? I don't think they picked themselves. I'm pretty sure it was several judges who chose them as the winners. please explain.
@MrOverlyCritical over the top dances, I would say both orgs had some questionable dances in their routines. but these outfits with those super short shorts are not cool. I didn't like the Delta outfits either, but they were well covered.
@fshchan that everyone will feel the same way. It doesn't work that way. what one person sees as inappropriate others may see as perfectly acceptable. Just because we disagree does not mean that either of us are "frontin" just that we have a difference of opinion. and yes you are right they can dance, as evidenced on this video of them dancing. I'm just saying they "should" NOT do it, not that they "can" NOT do it.
@striveforthe9 To your observation I will accept, as all the shows were lacking. I must say that I will always put the quality shows from as you say, "old heads" would execute against the shows of the newer women/ladies. Especially with these two organizations. Preciseness and not the severely over the top dancing that one organization presented in excess would have gotten them "side-eyed glances" from everyone to include the judges.
So after looking at both shows i have to say that the Deltas deserved to win. The Delta's beat them with their athleticism and "tricks". By no means was it a blow out! Like someone said, the result could have gone either way and the Delta's just happened to bring it a tad bit harder. Keep ur heads up 08! Remember, all of the others are trying to be like YOU!

In MY opinion, the Delta show was more exciting and nearly flawless. There were some awkward moments in this show and they didn't always seem to be entirely together. The Deltas just had more energy. However, Beta Psi REALLY did a good job and I knew it was going to be between the AKAs and the Deltas, but again, that's just MY opinion.
How come If someone doesn't agree with the "status quo" they're a hater? I swear... lol Honey, the show just didn't cut it. Of course the Ks are gonna think the show was hot, because, lets face it, this is one of their "live" shows, but Delta has been doing this for years. Just because the Ks finally came with a show that was worth watching doesn't mean they deserved the W.
@striveforthe9 ...actually the theme of the Alpha Tau show was great, but actually the quality of their show was not ALPHA TAU quality. Constant splits, which they started in '06 AFTER Beta Psi did it them in '05 and won. Don't get me wrong Alpha Tau puts on a show, but when past members agree that it was not worth a win, sort of makes you think. I can assure you that Beta Psi will not take that WAITRESS theme to Bayou Classic, as the scoring was TOO CLOSE.
@MrOverlyCritical I've never been to Southern, so I'm not sure how the shows were this year vs past shows. As I originally posted, both shows were very good, and can see it having gone either way. I don't think that one sorority's show was significantly better than the other. the Deltas seemed to have stepped well to me, as did the AKA's. so not exactly sure what you mean by "watered down" and I guess these ladies lost me with that "dancing" something you didn't see w/the Deltas
@MrOverlyCritical The judges and crowd didn't think the quality was poor. Of course "old heads" are gonna have something to say about the newer girls on the yard-it wouldn't be them if they didn't. lol If you want to get technical, I saw flaws in EVERYONE'S performance (frats also); no show was TOTALLY on point (including my Sorors), but the fact still remains... Alpha Tau put on a better show. You have to remember that the stepping portion is where most of the points come from,...
Go my PRETTY SORORS! If u are not an AKA its OK if u don't understand what the IVY represents: keep it moving. AKAS are known for whipping our hair in step shows so if u don't like it u should not watch any of our step shows or yard shows; just sayin.
@fshchan I think you missed a word, you said "we all know this show was really..." not sure what you mean, it was Really.....what? However, I'm not "frontin" but we are all entitled to our opinions. I believe this dancing was completely inappropriate [not that this is the only video I've seen with inappropriate dancing, I've seen ALL orgs dance inappropriate in shows and/or strolls]. but as I am entitled to my opinion you are entitled to yours. But please don't disillusion yourself to believe
how could one cheat if they are not scoring themselves... the judging process is designed so one cannot cheat. when the DELTAS perform, the judge that is a member of DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY, INC. does not judge and same for all the other greek organizations. the judges know what they want to see and they all have their own opinions and this year, past years, and many more years to come the DELTAS have and will win. i agree the k's show was good and entertaining just not to the judges.
@MrOverlyCritical dang it, this stupid thing cut me off. well any way for instance, in this video from 4:25 - 5:06 the dancing is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over the top and not what I'd consider to be very lady like, hunching, butts to audiences, and other distateful things. I noticed that all orgs seem to have their "undesirable/unladylike" moments nowadays. very unfoturante
The stepping in this show was way beyond on point
1 MORE YEAR LEFT OF HIGH SCHOOL SOON I WILL BE AN AKA CAN'T WAIT....THIS MAKE ME EVEN MORE EXCITED 2 BE STARTIN COLLEGE AT S.U. (GEAUX JAGS!!!!!)
I watched both videos and although I do believe the Reds did an excellent job I believe my sorors won. It's a matter of opinion on what stepping and stepping hard is.

YALL DID A GREAT SHOW...WE JUST KNEW YALL WOULD TAKE THE WIN...STILL GREAT SHOW!!!!!
I love this. They're so cleeeeeeeeean

@mrJupiterguy So what do you say about the Deltas beating the AKA's at the Classic as well? Did the student coordinator cheat there too?
@MrOverlyCritical ...but it's not the only scoring area. Judges take into consideration the overall theme, the visual aspects (including outfits) and crowd participation. The overall theme would have to go to A.T., visuals could be a toss-up (B.P.'s backdrop was on point and A.T.'s outfits were hot), and the crowd would have to go to A.T.

i've never seen AKA's step hard, until now...
After watching the Delta Show and the AKA Show...even though I am an avid Delta supporter (ask anyone)...The AKA's show was much better. The Delta show was just ok...this show was great! loved the hair...:)

You ladies diiiiid that!

I mean they did get invited to Super Step 2011, so that says where they're @.
love what these girls are doing but cant understand the flying ivies??
@MrOverlyCritical over the top dances, I would say both orgs had some questionable dances in their routines. but these outfits with those super short shorts are not cool. I didn't like the Delta outfits either, but they were well covered.

@blondediva16 my sentiments exactly!
The girls stepped way betta than da fellas this yr

Good show overall. The stepping was great...the dancing was a little shaky though
@striveforthe9 ...actually the theme of the Alpha Tau show was great, but actually the quality of their show was not ALPHA TAU quality.

I can assure you that Beta Psi will not take that WAITRESS theme to Bayou Classic, as the scoring was TOO CLOSE.
@immigratty Ummmm...they really didn't do constant splits and AT's shows tend to be a little lackin' these past few years.
does anyone know that song they was sinqinq when she said she didnt have enuf too pay sum sum and a 20 in his wallet?? if u do please tell me
@MrOverlyCritical I've never been to Southern, so I'm not sure how the shows were this year vs past shows. As I originally posted, both shows were very good, and can see it having gone either way.

@MrOverlyCritical The judges and crowd didn't think the quality was poor.

Alpha Tau put on a better show. You have to remember that the stepping portion is where most of the points come from,...
What school is this?
@MrOverlyCritical well the AKA's did "constant splits" in this show as well...and didn't win. so obviously splits alone aren't the winning point.
YES SORORS I SEE YALL!!!
Go my PRETTY SORORS! If u are not an AKA its OK if u don't understand what the IVY represents: keep it moving. AKAS are known for whipping our hair in step shows so if u don't like it u should not watch any of our step shows or yard shows; just sayin.
@babyapples86 WHO WON DON'T TELL ME THE DELTA'S WON
