First off, the term probate show is misused, as its original meaning denoted the shows pledges used to put on during their "hell week" or some other period. Now, the term is currently used to mean a "coming out" of a group of neophytes. We here in the Midwest usually use the term "neophyte" to describe these events, as in "I'm going to the AKA neophyte on Friday..."
However, not sponsoring one of these shows is NOT, I repeat NOT an indicator of whether a line has been initiated. In fact, these are unofficial events, and have absolutely NO bearing on becoming a member.
