That depends on what area of the country you are in. In the South, it stilll is a big deal, that is heavily influenced by the society in which you live and the prominence of your family. Sure, it is no longer a deal concerning marriage and things of that nature....but rather a time when high society can mingle together for a couple weekends and get trashed at flashy balls, parties, and presentations. It was alot of fun for us guys...mainly because all we had to do was slap on a tux, wear a few suits, and get trashed all day long....but I think it would be horrible to be a girl in it. They pretty much spend all of their time at luncheons and getting their hair and makeup done and wearing outlandish dresses.
