The only one I can think of around here in Pgh is the Medallion Ball, but it is more of an honor thing than a "social coming out". The girls do a ridiculous amount of community service and are recognized with the St. Joan of Arc medal by the Bishop of Pittsburgh.

I think that AKA and Zeta Phi Beta might also have one each in the area, but don't quote me. I seem to remember one girl I went to high school having a deb/ recognition ball through one of the NPHC sororities.

That all being said...wasn't really an option for me, nor was it my style. I had/have a particular disdain for pageantry/beauty contests/cotillions/antiquated social traditions (IMHO) . If you want to do it, that's great, but my family doesn't have the time nor the money to do it.
