Nu Kappa Psi welcomes pledges in annual Probate

March 27, 2025 by Leslie Carrigan Leave a Comment

Nu Kappa Psi finished this year’s pledge season for three new members with its annual probate on Friday in Beauchamp Amphitheater to present its most recent pledges to the university.

Omicron Xi Chi held its Probate earlier this month. Probate is a performance in which new club members dance and chant to explain who the club is to the rest of campus, and it is a common tradition among primarily black fraternities and sororities, said Marquis Wortham, Noble King’s squire sergeant.

“It’s not just a show, it’s us showing what true brotherhood is,” said Wortham, junior kinesiology major from Desoto. “It is a display of a family and it’s them being accepted into our brotherhood.”

Nissi Ndewere, sophomore marketing major from South Africa, was not originally planning on pledging but after watching last year’s probate decided he wanted to be a part of NKP. 

“I attended the 2024 probate, and I learned about Nu Kappa Psi, and I was like Wow this is something I want to be a part of,” said Ndewere, “I hope that the same way my mind was changed, through Probate people understand the depth of Nu Kappa Psi.”

Probate allows the community to learn more about NKP and allows the pledges to be publicly recognized for their work and preparation leading up to initiation.

“I hope they realize the hard work and everything they went through to be a Noble King,” said Wortham, “I hope they feel accepted by one of our brothers in NKP.”

Ndewere said performing at the event was a highlight of his college career.

“I loved the energy and the crowd,” said Ndewere, “and seeing all of the practice that went into it finally come to fruition. Personally, it was the best night of my college experience so far.”

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
