This is Part IV of this pancocojams series. This post showcases six videos of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. probates.
I'm particularly interested in documenting whether one or more designated member/s of that fraternity holds a decorated staff or some other object and whether neophytes carry a shield during their probate.
However, these videos are given without any descriptions or any comments.
That post presents my conclusions about this custom based on my informal online research (i.e. by watching a number of YouTube videos).
This post also includes online comments or information about this custom.

Documenting how historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority probates wouldn't be complete without information about the close contact processional styles that the neophytes have when they enter the probate performance area.
I believe that those close contact styles were/are influenced by the South African Venda's [ethnic population] Domba dance which is also known as "the python dance".
