Today we stepping with the brothers of the “Playboi” Pi Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.!  

National Pan-Hellenic Council Fraternities and sororities had “Greek Sings” that were popular since the inception of black Greek organizations in the early 1900s. This tradition gradually became to be used to celebrate initiations into the world of Greeks. The chapters would gather on campus and sing uplifting songs and cheers about their fraternity or sorority. In later years when the Greeks sung songs, they added movements such as walking in a circle and clapping hands. The sororities were singing songs up to the early eighties, and all of the sororities still have traditional songs that they sing today. Meanwhile, the fraternities began to add movement to their songs.  

In later years “Greek Sings” became “Greek Shows” which were a major event and still are to this day. The first official Greek Show was held at Howard University in 1976. Stepping has been popularized by National Pan-Hellenic Council member organizations who give tributes to their historical Greek letter organizations and also perform at local and national competitions. Stepping has become popular among the Greek organizations to show spirit and pride in their fraternity or sorority.
