Alpha Psi fraternity took home the trophy,
the money and bragging rights at the 15th
annual Cal State Long Beach Step Show in
The Walter Pyramid Saturday afternoon.
The
Stomping on the Yard National Step Tour
made its stop in Long Beach over the weekend.
With the help of the U.S. Army and Vibe
magazine, the National Pan Hellenic Council
of CSULB hosted the show, titled "The
Legacy Continues." Seven teams competed
and entertained an audience of 2,500 in
a celebration of leadership, scholarship
and showmanship. The teams were judged on
theme, length of time in performance and
creativity as each skillfully executed their
routine.
The
points were close but in the end the Southern
California All Star team of Kappa Alpha
Psi fraternity won the Gold Step Shoe trophy
and a $2,000 prize presented by the U.S.
Army.
This
is the first year the Southern California
All Star team won the Long Beach step show.
Greg McCoy, a member of the Kappa team was
excited about the win.
"This
is the 10th time we’ve won a step
show with the same step. We won at USC,
Arizona, Vegas, and now we can add Long
Beach to the list. We messed up and still
came out on top."
Zeta
Phi Beta sorority also won that afternoon.
They were the only team to compete in the
sorority division, but still impressed the
judges with their creativity and originality.
