The "coming out" ceremony for those who were pledging, especially in the NPHC. This normally includes masks covering the faces of those who were pledging until they are revealed as the newest member of XYZ. Also, other Greeks will show up, especially those of that sorority or
fraternity that the probate is of and their sorors and brothers from other schools as well as their own. Other occurances at a probate are: reciting the Greek alphabet, acknowledging your big sisters or big brothers, the announcement of the line name and ones
individual line name. Following this event, which attracts a lot of members, especially of the black race, is a party. Also, the newest members of that
organization are showered with memorabilia to keep.
