In Louisiana, most of our debutante activities are organized around a Mardi Gras Krewe. The woman's parents are members of the Krewe and when they are of age, they are presented at the Ball close to Mardi Gras. Sometimes there are a few ceremonies and/or costumes to wear for the ball. Every girl I have every known to be presented are members of sororities. These are generally the society events of the town.

Correct! I made my "debut" in the 1999 season back home in New Orleans. It was quite fun. I was also presented by the Pass Christian, MS Yacht Club on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Most debs in New Orleans are in sororities and I would say that Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Chi Omega are always strongly represented. However, I know most sororities have been represented in some way or another. Kappa has had the most queens of Mardi Gras (Queen of Rex.)
