It's all Greek To Me...

What is Strolling?

If you have ever been at a night club and have seen a line of people moving through the club with the same motions, then you probably have seen what "strolling" or "party-walking" is. Strolling is a tradition that traces back to the early 1900's to Black greek organizations such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (the first historically black greek sorority) and is a tradition practiced by many organizations to this day.

Strolling functions by having members of a particular greek organization line up one after another.Similar to saluting, they begin to move foward through the club in the same dance motions, or many times alternating dance moves. The practice of strolling is a very organized event, as members in a line know every step of the choreographed stroll.
