Like A Proud Mother

I have been beaming for two weeks and let me tell you why.

My sweet, sweet sorority sisters worked their little booties off to compete in the Sprite Step Off, a national step competition. The won the local competition in Fayetteville, dominated in Houston, and on February 20th they took the crown in Atlanta against some of the best steppers in the county.

After the win, controversy erupted. You can read more about it on CNN, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, The Associated Press, ESPN, and ABCNews.

Throughout everything, these girls have personified a true Zeta lady "...to look for the good in everyone; to see beauty, with its enriching influence; to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat; to have the welfare and harmony of the Fraternity at heart, striving ever to make our lives a symphony of high ideals, devotion to the right, the good, and the true, without a discordant note; remembering always that the foundation precept of Zeta Tau Alpha was love, "the greatest of all things." Zeta Tau Alpha Creed by Shirley Kreasan Strout

You can watch the show on YouTube. It has more than 550,000 views since the competition. You can also tune in to MTV2 at 2 p.m. on Sunday to watch more of these fabulous, award-winning ladies. What an honor to be associated with classy, talented women.

That was awesome! I could see Katy doing something like that. She got the legacy scholarship so everything is full speed ahead for coming to U of A next year! Go Hogs.

Love your blog make-over. You'll have to show me how to get a banner like that on mine (and a signature).

I thought they were great. Isn't it a shame that something that was meant only for good has gotten such rotten tomatoes!
