NBGLC/MGCA Old School Step Show

NPHC organizations were built on principles that reflect the high moral standards and expectations bestowed upon us by our National Organizations and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. This show is dedicated to honor those standards of respect for each other, our peers, and the audience who supports our organizations. The NBGLC/MGCA Step Show shall reflect quality, decency and overall fun. Where there is unity, there is strength.
