This is Part II of this pancocojams series. This post showcases six videos of Alpha Phi Alpha 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.
Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2024/04/the-custom-of-designated-members-of.html for Part I of a six part pancocojams series about the custom of designated members of historically Black Greek letter fraternities carrying a mace or holding a staff or some other object during their new members' probate.
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". Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2013/01/similarities-between-venda-python-dance_7.html for a 2013 pancocojams post entitled "Similarities Between The Venda (South Africa) Python Dance & Historically African American Greek Letter Sororities Probate Line Formations".
