What we call probate shows today are plentiful on youtube. They are really come out shows. I believe it was pointed out in another thread.

My first and only probate show I saw was on my campus when I was a freshman. Only one org was bold and brave enough to do it (and during my freshman year it was only three orgs on campus...the rest were on..."timeout".)

By the time I was ready to pledge, they stopped doing them. Never understood until an old head told me in love, when I thought I was a Super Bad Neo, the deal.

I'm with you except for the underlined sentence. If by "probate" you mean a "show" while you're still pledging, it still happens, and often. Perhaps we're talking about different things now.

To me, a literal probate is what people now call a surfacing. And, what we refer to as probates now are coming out shows.

I don't like the idea of surfacing because it does little more than give you the impetus to continue pledging right before things get really bad.
