The Baby Steps Show is a philanthropic stepshow held during Parent & Family Weekend featuring the entire UT Arlington Greek community. The 2010 show will be held on October 24, 2010 in the Rosebud Theatre, E.H. Hereford University Center. Teams (i.e. no more than 21 people/team) composed of members from IFC, MGC, PHC, and NPHC compete for a cash prize to be awarded to a local philanthropy of their choice. Sororities step with sororities and fraternities with fraternities. All proceeds from the show must benefit local Arlington philanthropies.
Each team must perform and be judged on the seven (7) items listed below. Shows should last no longer than eight (8) minutes from the first step to the end of the show. Faculty/staff members and alumni/ae will serve as judges for the show. There is no entry fee for this event.

- General Step- All teams will perform this step during their show. Teams may cater the step in their performance as they see fit. The more creative this step, the better.
