I did a post a couple of days ago about the all white sorority (Zeta Tau Alpha) that shut down the 2010 Sprite Step Off. Shortly after, I posted a video showing how disrespectful and ignorant some of the people in the crowd were when they BOO'D a clearly deserving group once they were announced as the winners. Well, people made such a big deal about it that Sprite decided to look further into the scores, check out the statement they released.
The Sprite Step Off was initially created as a way to recognize talented college students and give out scholarships to help support their higher education. If we put on some entertaining step shows and brought people together along the way, all the better.
After the National Finals Competition this past weekend in Atlanta wrapped, we got together to do our post-competition review and found a scoring discrepancy in the sorority results. After looking at it and looking at it AGAIN, we determined there isn’t a definitive resolution.
Sprite is all about preserving the honesty and integrity of this competition. Because the scoring discrepancy can’t be resolved and due to the really tight margin between the first and second place sorors, we feel that the only right thing to do is to name both Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tau Chapter & Zeta Tau Alpha, Epsilon Chapter, co-first place winners of the Sprite Step Off.
With these revised results, we’re gonna increase Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tau Chapter’s scholarship prize to $100K, consistent with what Zeta Tau Alpha also got for their first prize winnings.
Thanks again to everyone who helped make The Sprite Step Off happen. And to one last stroll in the name of unity…
C'Mon Son!! They need their azzes CURSED OUT!! I think that is the biggest crock of sh*t and they know it. Those girls deserved that win, regardless of what "discrepancies" they claim to have found. If I were Zeta Tau I wouldn't let this ride, nope not at all!!
