Is it true AKAs can no longer have probates?

Hello I was just wondering if it was true that AKA's can no longer have probate shows. I went to visit a cousin at her school last week and their AKAs happened to be coming out that weekend. They had a very small coming out show and their outfits consisted of jeans and pink & green shirts with their letters on it. Someone told me it was because they could only have small coming out shows because the national office had banned probates because they felt it was a form of hazing. I was just wondering if this was true or not because I hadn't heard that until now. (Just a question, no disrespect intended to the organization or any of it's members.)

There isn't a secret at all to why AKA's aren't probating. They are involved in a bunch of mess on most campuses and the nationals want let them. Actually, I knew the answer, but I was just curious to what the AKA'S were going to say on this discussion board. And they lived up to their usual standard that they have, which is having a nasty attitude. Their attitudes stank (not stinks, but STANKS), and they need to get a reality check! The world does not revolve around greek life, but they will get a rude awakening when they step out into the real world. The AKA's really have a wonderful National president now, she is really going in there and changing things. She has a wonderful platform. She is also changing the terminology of how they refer to potential members. They are no longer called "pledges", but now canidates. Also, there is no more use of the terms: lines, line numbers, sands, crossing over, pledges, etc. Those old terms have a connotation to hazing, and I think that probating is also a form of hazing. So that is the reason why they aren't doing anymore probating.
So much wrong information in here that its comical. Potential members haven't been called pledges since hazing was abolished (can you guess what year?). The term "probate" refers to an aspect of pledging that existed in the time of pledge clubs. No one does probates anymore. They do coming out shows, presentations, etc. And every line that I've seen come over these semester has line names and numbers. This is what happens when people who aren't AKAs dabble in AKA business. The get things WRONG.

D, they have bringin out ya gangsta a lil bit huh?...they don't know about it *smh*. Hmmm...I might have to let go of my "kind hearted" card for a lil bit. Seems as though nowadays folks take that as a sign of weakness and use it as an excuse to talk nonsense. I try to keep Inglewood at home, I really do. Why folks wanna insult me & test my patience is far beyond me. Imma borrow your gangsta card for a lil bit D, thanks.

To be honest...it wasn't her responsibility to say ish from the get go (kudos to u D). Kind of a waste of energy to educate someone if they don't really want the information. People will believe what they want to...especially when they think they are right.
