ah, those probate memories...
i was "raised" in the sorority to the understanding that probate shows are meant to publicly celebrate one's crossing into greek life and specifically into the organization-- something like a rite of passage. probate shows are a means of presenting those who have crossed to the community at large, especially the greek community. choosing to join an organization is a decision that requires discretion for a period of time, so a probate is kind of like "breaking the silence"-- it says to the community, "THIS is what i have been working on becoming". just my 22 cents
