"@prayerfulsong72  That was actually a diss stroll, but I see you've made a youtube career of hating on Sigma videos. Since it's obvious you don't know your history about stepping, cane twirling, or African dance, I won't waste my energy any longer."

Are parts of it meant  to be 'dis strolls'?"

"@CultivatingOne G.O.M.A.B. if yu are a MAN of SIGMA. Who are you? This video and song is very good it shows the life of UNDERGRAD Sigmas CULTURE FOR SERVICE AND SERVICE FOR HUMANITY!  This is a SOCIAL fraternity not a gang, club or joke. We are not a corporation. We service our community by having a FREE Bar B Q and interacting with the University students, our Aux Club Sigma Beta, our Sister Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, and each other! We did nothing GHETTO or no kind of BAFOONERY! SO SPIN and S.I.E"

This comment was apparently written in response to a comment that was critical of this stroll. However, that comment no longer appears in this discussion sub-thread.

"Sigma Beta" is the name of high school groups that were (are?) mentored by Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

SHOWCASE VIDEO #3- Phi Beta Sigma - Sigma Walk at UCF

Here's a comment from this video's discussion thread:

LLBJTheGreat, 2013
"GOMAB! BRUHS WAS FOOLIN!"
-snip-
"GOMAB" is a secret term that is used only by members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. "Bruhs"="brothers". The statement "Bruhs was foolin'" points out the light hearted nature of the "Sigma Walk" step routine (or stroll) compared to some other Sigma step routines.

Notice that a Sigmas in the front of this stroll routine is blowing a whistle.

The custom of blowing a whistle during some BGLO routines can be traced to the popularity of the (Hip Hop artist) Too Short's 2006 record "Blow The Whistle".

  1. Here's an excerpt from an article entitled "Nine Of The Best Black Greek Strolls We've Seen From The Divine Nine ; Because stroll culture is Black Greek culture." by Tyler Marie. September 20, 2018

    https://blavity.com/nine-of-the-best-black-greek-strolls-weve-seen-from-the-divine-nine?category1=community-submitted :
    ..."For BGLO members, a highly popularized form of expression and celebration is called “strolling.” Similar to the popular line dances initiated at BBQs or wedding receptions, a stroll is a group routine created by members of a fraternity or sorority to represent their respective organization. Greeks use anything from popular dances and songs to organization-specific calls, hand signs, steps and more to choreograph these elite moves, which are ultimately passed down from line to line, generation to generation.

    Full disclosure: Sorry, GDIs — strolling is not all-inclusive. The members of these Greek organizations have earned the right to rep their set in step, so let’s remember to respect their sacred traditions. In other words, if you're not Greek, don't try this at home!

    From the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha’s hair flip to the barks and hops of the men of Omega Psi Phi, here are my nine all-time favorite Greek stroll moments from The Divine Nine."...
