Totally agree on all previously mentioned points but... I'll go ahead and answer.
I think being a debutante is a lovely, but superfluous type thing. I live in North Carolina, so we have deb balls but they are not the huge deal that they might be in some states.
I was not a deb (lol mostly because I'm not rich) but I do know several girls who were, including my grandlittle. It seems to be a very fun and enjoyable experience, so I can't see why anyone would NOT want their daughter to be a debutante given the opportunity. Deb balls are lots of fun.
However, I don't think that debuting is a make-or-break-you event anymore. I know lots of rich people who didn't debut (lol now doesn't that make me sound like georgewallace?). It hasn't affected their social life or standing, as far as I know.
