May 1, 2022 Greetings:

It has been my esteemed pleasure to have served as Chairman for the 2021 – 2022 Pearl Ball Scholarship Cotillion Program hosted by the D.C. Pearls III Foundation, Incorporated in conjunction with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, Rho Mu Omega Chapter. Moreover, I am excited to be among the first to welcome our eleven Debutante Scholars to Society. I have witnessed the growth and development each debutante has experienced since the start of the Program and strongly believe that each young lady has created memories for herself that will last a lifetime. Additionally, I am proud of the bonding opportunity this hybrid (virtual and in-person) program afforded Debutantes in a COVID-19 environment and count it an honor to have positively impacted the lives of each scholars who participated in this program. Debutantes engaged in a rigorous Leadership Institute and actively participated in activities that served the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Community. They also enjoyed fun activities with their fathers / father figures and fellow Debutantes. Debutantes and Escorts honed their social grace skills by attending an Etiquette Workshop. While Debutantes honored their mothers during a Mother Daughter Tea and actively raised funds through more than forty-eight virtual activities and events in support of scholarships for themselves and the D.C. Pearls III Foundation. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate parents and legal guardians for the investment you made in each Debutante and applaud you for a job well done! You contributed countless hours of commuting, networking, fundraising, and overall support of your respective daughters. And I know that you will cherish each memory formed today. As Chairman, I can honestly say that the past eleven months have been nothing short of a labor of love. Additionally, I am grateful to have interacted with each of these delightful, unique, gracious, wise, humble, humorous young ladies and wish them every success in their future endeavors. Finally, the Cotillion Steering Committee worked extremely hard to make this program both memorable and meaningful. And I know that I speak for them in saying that we hope that tonight is as magical for you as it is for us. Sincerely,

Stephanie R. Allen, Chairman Pearl Ball Scholarship Cotillion

Over the next few weeks the program, bylaws, and budget were developed. At the second meeting in July, 23 Members officially organized the interest group by voting on the abovementioned reports and accepting the name D.C. Pearls, Part III. Rho Mu Omega, an award-winning chapter, has actively organized and participated in community and sorority activities under the various International Program themes.
