To clarify Presentation, it's a Tech tradition and a black tie function with parents. (In my day dates were common for initiated upperclassmen as well.). It is somewhat structured like a debutante party where each chapter holds its own function to "present" their new member class. Each new member was escorted by someone (usually a dad but occasionally a mom or other adult important to them) and highlighted with a walk on stage including her full name, hometown, etc.
