Pearls of Perfection

The Pearls of Perfection Debutante Program of the Flint Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. recognizes notable young ladies in the Flint/Genesee County area who demonstrate superior academic excellence, exemplary moral standards and are actively engaged in their local communities. This comprehensive program is designed for young ladies who will be sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school. At the conclusion of the debutante program year, the accomplishments of these young ladies will be celebrated in a spectacular way at an elegant Cotillion scheduled for April 27, 2019.

Through a series of workshops, cultural events and rehearsals, participants will learn etiquette and social grace skills, educational development resources, college preparedness skills and community service involvement, which are geared to enhance their personal growth as they transition into adulthood.

Being a participant in a Debutante Program is a great honor and those chosen for our program will be successful in their endeavors, serve as role models to their peers and become future leaders in their communities.
