Controversy and Criticism
Like many other organizations, the Strutters have had controversy and criticism over their history. Texas State University did not integrate the school until 1963, and the team was predominantly white for the first 29 years of its existence. Since the 1980s, a wide variety of ethnicities have joined the team, many gaining leadership positions within the organization. The team selected its first African American officer in 1994.

There are no height or weight requirements, although team members must have proper weight for their height, frame, and bone structure. Team activities require outstanding cardio-vascular conditioning, strength, and stamina. Body piercings, tattoos, brands, or symbols visible on the skin are not permitted, nor are distractions from the uniformity of costuming permitted.

The rules for the organization are many, and conforming to them can be difficult for dancers who prefer individual accolades over being part of a team. Other university students often state that the extensive list of rules takes away the identity and expression of the individual. The team defends itself by reminding others that the being part of the organization is elective, not mandatory, and that the rules are in place to insure a level playing field for everyone, and designed to bring out an individual's qualities within the constructs of a team. As ambassadors of Texas State University, the state of Texas, and the US, team members gladly adhere to the rules set forth by the organization.

In December 2016, the organization drew criticism for agreeing to perform at the inauguration of Donald Trump. The criticism was primarily from current students of Texas State, but other groups involved in the inaugural, such as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, were also widely criticized for their participation as well.
