Stroll Off Competition of 2012

On March 3, 2012, The Iota Phi Theta held the Stroll Off Competition of 2012. With the music blasting while walking in the Lane Center ARMAH helped bring a good vibe to people who came out and supported. The set-up, with the different color lights, was also very welcoming. Incorporated with their strolls, Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Iota Phi Theta put on good performances with comedy, surprises, dancing and much more to get the audience hype and involved. Each fraternity had five to seven minutes to do their stroll off performance. There were two rounds for the fraternities that participated to show not only the audience, but also the judges what they had in store.

Alpha Phi Alpha started the show off, followed by Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and the last to perform was Iota Phi Theta. Each fraternity seemed to work hard on both of their performances. Even with a few mess-ups, the lack of space that they all seemed to inhibit, and technical problems with the music, all of the fraternities pulled it together in the end and gave great performances.

Having a chance to speak to some of the audience before and after the show gave the vibe of how people thought the show was going to carry along. Ashlee Williams, a sophomore studying Mass Communications here at Frostburg State University, said before the show “I’m excited to see what all of the frats are going to do.” She also said “I think the Ques might win because they are always hype when it comes to performances. Not saying that any other fraternity is not hype but the Ques always win”. The Ques are known as the Omega Psi Phi. 

It was announced at the end of the show that the audience will not know who won the Stroll Off Competition until the after party that was taking place later that night at 11 p.m. Talking to Ashlee Williams again after the show, she changed her mind about who she think will win the competition. “The Sigma’s definitely won that. They brought the most hype in the crowd.” The Sigma’s are known as the Phi Beta Sigma. Asking around, there were many opinions that surrounded that.

In the end, the Sigma’s did win the stroll off of this year. It wasn’t established what they won but the title of being the champions of this years stroll off. The overall Stroll Off Competition of 2012 was a success. Many people came out to support some of the fraternities here at Frostburg State University. The Lane Center ARMAH was full of supporters, onlookers, and other fraternities and sororities from different schools. It was a packed show and also a very impressive one to say the least.
