Y Groups' Year For the first time in SEMO history, all of the predominately black fraternities and sororitiesjoined together for a coordinated, co-sponsored event. On March 22 the men of Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma and Alpha Phi Alpha came together with the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha for a Neophyte Step- show in Parker Gymnasium. Neophyte Stepshows are designed to give fraternities and sororities an opportuni- ty to present their group's dances to the other organizations and to potential new members. Most of the groups' dances are also intended to allow individual members to perform some of their own steps with background accompaniment by others. Stepshows are normally held once a semester by each organization. Fall and Spring Stepshows this year were a great success for the sponsoring organizations. This spring's show was unique in other ways besides the fact that it was a joint operation by the six organizations. Some of the groups invited guests from other chap- ters in the Midwest to come and dance. The visitors presented some new steps and gave the SEMO chapters helpful advice for future stepping presentations. Another unique aspect of this spring's dance was the participation of Omega Psi Phi CQ-Dogsb and Phi Beta Sigma in the event. This year was the first year that these two fraternities were a part of SEMO's Greek world. by Cindy Dillard Photos by ,.. X Cathy Kuhlmeiel Being a spectator was almost as much fun as stepping during the Neophyte Stepshow. Co-sponsored by all of the pre-dominanrly black Greek organizations, the event was very successful.
