a probate/coming out show has it's origins in the earlier days of greek organizations when the pledges, usually a week before crossing but sometimes all through plegeship, would come out on the yard (campus) dressed in their pledge uniform & perform songs/skits/steps for the members & on-lookers. today, the concept is the same, but the timing is different. a probate/coming out show is done right after (usually that night or the next afternoon) the pledges have been formally initiated into their respective organization. it's usually (hopefully) the first time the general public sees who's become a member of what and it's also the first time the new members get to wear 'nalia. after the main show is over, the members, seasoned & newly initiated, sing songs & chants.
