Application-Debutante Cotillion Season 2023-2024
Application DEADLINE: June 30, 2023
The DC Pearls III Foundation, working with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Rho Mu Omega Chapter, appreciates your interest in our 2023- 2024 Pearl Ball Debutante Cotillion Program.
Historically, a cotillion was characterized as an elaborate, formal dance. In recent years, it is recognized as a formal presentation of young ladies referred to as debutantes. These young ladies are presented to society after they have developed and demonstrated a sense of poise, grace, social etiquette skills, responsibility and achievement that prepares them to master life’s challenges as a young lady.
DC Pearls III Foundation and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Rho Mu Omega Chapter have embraced this concept and developed a Pearl Ball Cotillion program that allows for an opportunity to introduce young women to society through cultural experiences. The Cotillion Program offers a range of social, personal, career and educational enrichment opportunities for young women. Activities consist of personal development workshops, community service projects or opportunities, etiquette training and more! Selected participants learn how to successfully transition into the next stage of their high school academic career before taking their bow and being presented to society at the Debutante Pearl Ball Cotillion Ball.
