We had high school "sororities"...they were in connection with Rotary, Kiwanis, Optimist, etc...there were four of them where I was, and two of them were "the ones to join". Most girls got cut, and they were noticably homogeneous (I was in one of the two so-called "elite" ones, so I think I'm in a pretty good position to talk). They had initiation and sorts of stuff like that, "mixers" with the male counterparts. We even had teas and whatnot, all under the masking of a "service club".
On the other hand, debutante balls are something completely different. I expect the REAL balls to happen either senior year in HS or after freshman year in college, but NO LATER AND CERTAINLY NOT ANY EARLIER. There was a thread here relating to not allowing girls who had babies to participate. This started a lively discussion among some of my sorority sisters.
