This is probably the first time in years that N.C. Central University homecoming step show attendees have witnessed the entire divine nine stepping under one roof.
The Gamma Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. pulled off a clean win. Gamma Gamma put on an outstanding show.
The Transformers theme related to spring 2011's collective line name,"The Rise of the Blue Decepticons." The steps and concept produced a lot of energy and kept the sold-out crowd pumped. Gamma Gamma gave the crowd something different during its black light sequence.
This was a major win for the Gamma Gamma chapter. For seven out of nine homecoming step shows, the Gamma Beta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. has won first place. The fraternity was also reigning champions for two years.
Darrell Parker, vice president of the Gamma Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., said, "I wouldn't say we beat the alphas we worked really hard.
"We practiced every day from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.," Parker said. Once again, reigning champions the Alpha Lambda chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. was untouchable, coming through with a strong presentation.
Alpha Lambda's superb performance featured a crisp, energetic routine. The Godfather-themed performance was well put together and intriguing.
This year makes the sixth year in a row that Alpha Lambda has won the contest. "It means a lot to us, because we are the babies coming on the yard," said Ashlie Savage, a member of Alpha Lambda Fall 2010.
"We have to make sure we uphold all of Alpha Lambda's traditions and also the tradition of winning the step show." Overall, all competing fraternities and the sororities put on great performances.
The energy level in particular made this year's event one to remember.
