Stomp the Yard" is a popular new film that explores aspects of the human drama such as violence, love and envy with fraternity stepping as the backdrop. Stepping, also referred to as stomping, can basically be defined as a dance involving a rhythmical heavy step.

The highlight of the film is at the National Step Competition, where Dem Boyz is shown competing. In real life, Dem Boyz is the 2006 National "Stomping on the Yard" championship team that was profiled in the ESPN2 documentary of the same name - and many of the team members are also students at the College.

"Stomp the Yard" highlights the talents of a few of our own. Past and present students of the College including alumnus Ike Anyanwu; Greggy Amisial, senior biology major; Anton Vallie, junior English education major; and Desmond McDonald, senior criminal justice major, are members of the Dem Boyz Step Team.  more >>
