Greetings,
First, I’d like to congratulate each of you, the Debutante Class of 2024! This is a great time to be celebrated and presented as the next generation of successful women of color who will become accomplished educators, medical and social science professionals, political and legal minds, and strong community leaders. I am honored and grateful to be a part of your presentation!
During this debutante season, you were given lectures on everything from etiquette to proper interviewing skills. These lectures were designed to help prepare you for the world you are about to encounter. I hope you will capitalize on the lessons as you navigate life and explore new possibilities in your next endeavor, be it a college or university, the world of work, or a branch of uniformed services. The knowledge and tips imparted to you will prove very beneficial and give you a leg up on the competition. Additionally, you have built a network of supporters among your debutante classmates. They are not just people who went through the process simultaneously. They will ultimately be the professionals you will need in your Rolodex. Don’t forget about them!
Remember, on this journey we call life; there will be many twists and turns. There will be moments of utter confusion as well as moments of complete clarity. Just know that this ebb and flow is all a part of living! Be strong. Be resilient. Be relentless in your pursuit of a complete and satisfying life. Let the world know that you are not just a beautiful face with a gorgeous smile. Let them know you are an intellectual chameleon with a fantastic ability to tailor your behavior and style from the Debutante Ball to the Governor’s Ball, from meeting with the girls to a meeting with the Board of Directors. Because in the words of Michelle Obama, “Becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim; instead, it is forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”
Parents, thank you for giving the men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Pi Lambda Chapter, and the Central Arkansas Sphinx Foundation the opportunity to present your young lady to society. It is an opportunity that we do not take for granted. This is an exciting time in their life and yours. So, congratulations to you for getting them to this point.
Volunteers, thank you for dedicating much of your time and energy to this process. I can say with a great degree of certainty that this process was made smoother because of your involvement. And for that, I’m grateful!
Lastly, to Chairman Karl Roberts and the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha who served as committee members and were dedicated to making this night a special night for our debutantes, thank you for holding high the light! Onward and Upward, brothers…Onward and Upward!
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Cooper President, Central Arkansas Sphinx Foundation

History of the Alpha Debutante Ball
The Beaux Ball, the forerunner of the Alpha Debutante Ball, had its beginning in 1948. The Brothers of Pi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. wanted to make an impact on the social and educational life of African American females attending colleges and universities throughout the state and the country.
Heath Welch
President- Pi Lambda Chapter
The first activity was held in December 1948 at the Dreamland Ballroom on the corner of West Ninth and State Streets. The affair was patterned after the Mardi Gras Parade Krewes that are held in New Orleans, Louisiana. Brother John King served as chairman and was instrumental in making the venture a success.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated
1500 Ringo Street
Little Rock, Arkansas 72202
The Fraternity invited guests to witness the presentations of seven young ladies who were selected to represent the Seven Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. From these seven young ladies, a Beaux Queen was selected. The first queen selected in 1948 was Ms. Frankie Snodgrass of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Ms. Snodgrass was a student at Philander Smith College.
President Welch:
The CASF will meet again via conference call on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 5:30pm.
Thank you and please share this information with the Chapter.
As the interest in the activity continued to grow, it was decided in 1950 to change the format and expand the activity in order to offer an opportunity for other young ladies to participate. The name of the activity was changed to the Annual Alpha Phi Alpha Debutante Ball.
Henry Brooks IV
President
On December 26, 1950, the First Annual Alpha Phi Alpha Debutante Ball was held at the Robinson Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. Thirteen beautiful, excited young ladies made their formal entrance into society. They waltzed with their escorts to the tune of “I Love You Truly.” Ms. Thelma Pauline Minton of Little Rock, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Minton and at that time a sophomore at Arkansas AM&N College (now University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff), was selected as Ms. Pi Lambda.
The Alpha Debutante Ball now presents high school young ladies to society on a yearly basis during a formal black tie event, as it was 70 years ago.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African American Men, was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven college men who recognized the need for a strong bond of brotherhood among African descendants in this country. The seven founders, known as the “Jewels of Alpha” were Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, Vertner Woodson Tandy. The fraternity initially served as a study and support group for minority students who faced racial prejudice, both educationally and socially, at Cornell. The Jewel founders and early leaders of the fraternity succeeded in laying a firm foundation for Alpha Phi Alpha’sAims of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for All Mankind.

Nothing to Fear
Niece, there’s nothing to fear— you’re as good as the best, As strong as the mightiest, too. You can win in every battle or test; For there’s no one just like you.
There’s only one of you in the world today; So nobody else, you see, Can do your work in as fine a way: You’re the only you there’ll be!
So face the world, and all life is yours To conquer and love and live: And you’ll find the happiness that endures In just the measure you give.
There’s nothing too good for you to possess, Nor heights where you cannot go: Your power is more than belief or guess –It is something you have to know.
So, Niece, there is nothing to fear – you can and you will. For you are the invincible you. Set your foot on the highest hill –There’s nothing you cannot do.
