Black Cultural Programming Committee presents the awards at the Stomp Fest competition.

Following last week's story, UT's Black Cultural Programming Committee prepares for its 11th annual Southeastern Stomp Fest; one fraternity reaped the benefits of their efforts.

From the start to finish of the competition, each of the representing chapters brought forth rhythm and live entertainment on stage.

Each chapter had a limited amount of time to present the most creative routine. Choreography, stage props and keeping 'in-step' were all taken into account in the voting process. Iota Phi Theta fraternity received top scores for its performance and received $4,000 for placing first in the competition.
Although there was only room for one winner, the sorority Delta Sigma Theta placed 1st runner-up followed by Phi Beta Sigma fraternity placing 2nd runner-up.

Despite sincere efforts of the Black Cultural Programming Committee to request all of the Divine Nine to participate, only six of the nine chapters were able to compete in the Stomp Show Fest. The six participating chapters in founding order: Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Omega Psi Phi fraternity, Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Phi Beta Sigma fraternity and Iota Phi Theta.
