GREEK GROUPS STEP LIVELY FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS AT STEP SHOW
Annual Event Blends Precision, Show Biz Flair, Hard Work, Pinpoint Timing

MURFREESBORO—Perfectly synchronized performers will create a flurry of color and sound in the annual MTSU Homecoming Step Show at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, at Murphy Center.

Groups will design and execute intricately choreographed routines, displaying dynamic showmanship to impress the judges. The groups will be assessed on the grounds of creativity, complexity, synchronization, crowd interaction and other criteria.

“Groups spend at least half of the year planning their performances and rehearse from three to six months in advance,” says NPHC President Una Norwood.

The first-place winning fraternity and sorority will be awarded $1,000 each. Second-place finishers will get $500 each. An additional $500 will be presented to either the first-place fraternity or the first-place sorority for the finest overall performance.

Six organizations will compete in this year’s event, which is sponsored by the National Pan-Hellenic Council. They are fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma and sororities Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Delta Sigma Theta.

Tickets are $12 for general admission from now until Sept. 29, $17 for floor seats from now until Sept. 29, $15 for general admission on the day of the event and $20 for floor seats on the day of the event. Only cash payments will be accepted. Tickets may be purchased at Murphy Center’s Gate A ticket office.
