I laughed, laughed, laughed.

Not because they didn't look good.

Because it was quite obviously 1990. :)

The clothes, the clothes, THE CLOTHES!!! :p

This is the kind of BGLO stuff I want to see on youtube. :)

Cosign on both. There should be grant money available for converting VHS to youtube, lol

That would be great! I know some people with some great VHS BGLO stuff. :p

And the haircuts!

The video camera! Shoulder pads! Goucho pants! RAYON!!!

Aww..the 90s:o:o:o

memories
 

LOL...I remember the dance moves oh so well. Always wished I could do them. Looking back, it's probably a good thing I couldn't...:p

I laughed too... at a lot of the fashions...whew, I survived 1990 LOL!

I saw her!

The haircuts! The earrings! The clothes! EVERYTHING! Loved it LOL!!

All the slopes, high top fades, asymetrical bobs, hammer pants... I darn near fell out from watching! LOL!

manye FAMU was jamming

Wow! This took me back to my undergrad years (Yes, I was in college during the early 90's). If only I could go back in time for one day. Such great memories...

aww this is so cute.

Wow, I just had some serious UG flashbacks (yes, I was an UG in 1990). :p

Sorry for the forum-crash ladies :)

But I came across this vid on youtube. It doesn't say its a probate, the title of the video is "Spring 07 Pyramid Presentation" and the ladies are wearing masks. I thought this didn't happen nowadays? :confused:

Are you saying you didn't realize that probates happen nowadays?

If he's saying what I think he's saying..... it is very unusual to see what was depicted on the youtube clips -- whether it was an ACTUAL probate or just an illusion.

I am going to believe it was an illusion since I don't know what is or isn't allowed in anyone else's intake.

(I also REALLY liked it when I saw both parts together)

Ooh hold up. I gotcha.

Right, I know about probates.

But the video link I posted isn't a probate, its a "Pyramid Presentation" from 07 which is the same thing as the retro-video originally posted when NPHC pledged above-ground. Which is why I was wondering if that still happened nowadays that the NPHC orgs don't have official names for their pledge classes like they used to (e.g. Pyramid Club for DST, Ivy Leave Pledge Club for AKA, etc).

Sorry for any confusion.

And Idk whether its an illusion or not, because at the end they don't introduce themselves or state their names or take off their masks etc (like a probate).

DST still uses the name Pyramid. However, we don't have Pyramid Presentations. However, when they began the Founders Step (beginning of part 2) you can hear someone yell "alright sorors" are something like that. So I assume the vid is mis-labeled.

If you must type it, type it right. :p

I could not see whether the masks were removed in the show.

But, similar to how this BA 1990 video was called "pyramid club intro" and was a probate show, this show was most likely a "coming out show."

Or at the most it could be a preview for a larger coming out show. I've seen chapters do previews eventhough the women are no longer Pyramids.

We call those "peep shows" here.

kinky

Lol ohh ok. Got it. :)

That's what I'm thinking too. The woman at the end is talking about another date for something, right?

Hmmmmm. I prefer to think of it was the NM presentation that was a preview of a larger CHAPTER step show.

man.. they just like having extra work if they are doing preludes and such....

i remember this show very well. :)
