Hair, Hair, and More Hair

You’d be lying if you said you didn’t enjoy when the lovely ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. flip their hair back and forth. It is truly a signature move from these ladies that we get excited about seeing every probate season. The move is a strong, definitive and unapologetically feminine. Every time we get to see a chapter of AKA’s cross a new line we are in awe of the devastating move that ladies hit so effortlessly. The AKAs have been spotted doing this at different HBCUs all over the country and even at the Atlanta Hawks Game. The stunning ladies of the “Sweet” Alpha Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, were spotted at the Atlanta Hawks game back in March when they shut DOWN Phillips Arena with their breathtaking  moves.

 

Brothers In Song

One special treat that surprises many at Greek Probates is when chapters decide to sing during their probates. It is no shock when the talented brothers of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Inc sing, that is a part of who they are. But what a pleasant surprise is it when we see Alphas, Sigmas and even Omgea’s join together in song during a probate. The Spring 2013 Probate the members of Hampton University Alphas sang “The Zoom, Zoom”   It is crazy to think that Greek men can give back to their communities, step, stroll AND even sing! What is it that a Greek man can’t do?  

 

Electrifying Entrances

Attending a Probate can be a long process depending how long it takes for the production to begin. But what a moment it is when you’ve stood there waiting and waiting for the Probate begin and then you see the line being lead in by the Dean. It is the moment that everyone has been waiting for. In that moment everyone screams, cheers and hollers as they watch their brothers, sons, nephews and friends walk down and get ready to start a new chapter in their lives. In the Spring of 2016 the Omega Psi Phi Mu Psi Chapter had an entrance that was so electrifying and in-sync it will make your jaw drop. We are definitely excited more electrifying entrances to be revealed during this Probate season.

 

Stunning Style

Probates are a time for each chapter at their respected institution to show us what they got. Aside from the steps and coordination one of the most captivating things about a Probate is the Probate Outfit. Some chapters go all out making sure that their brothers or sisters are the most well-dressed neos to enter the greekdom. A prime example of this statement would be The Blackheart Nupes who were just probated their largest line since Spring 2000. The brothers were dressed to perfection with properly coordinated bow-ties, socks and suspenders showing just how stylish the brothers down at Texas A&M could be. The Probate had a massive crowd having over 600 people in attendance which is very impressive giving that the school has a 4% black population. I am sure once those 600 people saw the Nupes in that impressive outfit they knew then that they were in for a heck of a show.

 

Fierce Formation

One of the best parts of  Probate season is when a chapter is crossing a massive line with lots of neos. Greek life at Bethune Cookman University is thriving really well. In the Spring of 2014 the loves ladies of The Dynamic Delta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc crossed over FORTY lovely ladies. All of them were fiercely in formation and each woman did her introduction with such power and grace. Everyone loves to see a lot of Deltas. The best part of this probate is when all of them Duck walked in formation without a single lady missing a beat. It is a moment that everyone in attendance loved to see.
