JocelynC, what kind of perks do you get after becoming a debutante, aside from going to swanky dinner parties and such? and is this the kind of thing you put on a resume?

I made some good friends. This particular ball is one of only 2 held in the city I live in, so there are alot of girls who want those spots. Being a HS kid I thought it was pretty neat to be a part of something that I knew many girls applied for. It's not something I put on my resume just because it's from HS.



and could, in some way controlled only by the gods, can someone who wasnt rich be debutanted? sort of like an affirmative-action thing? (that's the only way i can describe it)

or is it one of those things that have remained purely for the rich?


It's one of those things that people thought alot about before applying. MOST of the cost is explained at the info night so you knew if you could honestly afford it or not. It was just one of those things where (and this is going to sound bad) you didn't apply if you couldn't afford it.
