This is a continuation of my comparison of the performance activities of Black Greek Letter Organizations {BGLO} and the description of the chanting mentioned by a poster to GreekChat.com:

Members of Black Greek Letter Organizations don't "engage in anything similar to "out chanting the others" during a step show. That is, each group "steps" separate from another. Groups chant during parts of their step performance, but sometimes they step without any vocalizations. The Ques {Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.} are known for their singing as a prelude to their stepping or while they are stepping. Other BGLO may also "sing", but I don't think they do so as much as the Ques do.

During their entrance and particularly during their exit from the step show stage, organizations usually perform another movement art called "strolling" {party walk}. Strolls {party walks} are a processional movement 'dance form' in which members standing in a vertical line strut to the rhythm of recorded music while showing their signature hand sign. Particularly at the end of the step show, when they are doing their party walk off the stage, individual members of the step team may also give their organization's signature vocal calls.

Strolls are also performed at special outdoor events and during parties that fraternity or sorority members might attend. This is the one time that more than one fraternity or sorority might perform at the same time. While there still is an element of competition in these party walks, they are mostly done to express and show off the member's allegiance to their organization. All members of that organization-including persons from other chapters-can join a non-step show performance stroll line.

Stroll lines may form spontaneously or as part of a planned performance. Stroll line might move in a circle or might zig zag around the dance floor or outdoor space. Only members of that specific fraternity or sorority {including members from different chapters} can stroll with that organization. It probably goes without saying that it's not "cool" for any non-member to cut into a fraternity or sorority stroll line.

And, as you might imagine, it could get rather dicey if more than one organization decide to do a party walk on the dance floor at the same time or when "non-Greeks" are gettin their dance on.
