This is the earliest publishing date that I have come across for a Delta Sigma Theta Sorority probate video that includes a soror holding a decorated mace. 

In addition to a mace, in this video a few sorors who are interacting with the probate line are carrying a slender cream colored walking cane decorated with crimson ribbon. Another soror holds aloft a small wooden board (a paddle?) with something written on it.

No soror in this video is carrying a decorated staff.
