I know you've pretty much already made your decision not to go, but I would recommend thoroughly reading your chapter's bylaws, code of standards, etc. to see whether or not you are allowed to go. Some people are under the assumption that as soon as someone's on probation they can't do anything -- when, in reality, that isn't always the case. I can understand why you might not be allowed to go to social events throughout the semester, but after saying that you felt you should remain on probation, I would hope they'd realize how serious you are about improving your grades and let you go to your formal as sort of halfway reward or something.
I've been on academic probation before, too, and I know it's not fun at all. If you need someone to talk to or even just complain to for hours, feel free to IM me at PMSunshine77.
