Presenting

2022-2023 Cotillion Debutante

Jordan S. Witherspoon

Dear Family and Friends,

Hi, my name is Jordan Shea Witherspoon and I am a senior at Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, NC. I am an artist that loves anime, drawing, listening to music, reading and writing stories. I love traveling with my family and playing with our family dog. My love for story-telling has grown tremendously over time and the animation forum attracts me the most. Art, to me, is the ultimate form of self-expression. Since middle school I’ve had an overwhelming desire to share my passion with the world. Upon graduation, I have dreams of attending the University of North Carolina School of the Arts to pursue a degree in filmmaking with a concentration in animation. My dream is to create and produce my own animated show!

I am excited to participate in the 2022-2023 Debutante Cotillion sponsored by the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated in partnership with Deltas of Charlotte Foundation (DOCF). This fundraising scholarship pageant has been in existence for many years and allows young ladies the opportunity to raise funds for their college education while participating in educational, cultural, and service oriented activities. The Annual Cotillion Ball culminating event and the presentation of the Debutantes will be on April 8, 2023 where I hope to be crowned Miss Legacy.

I hope that I can count on your support as this is an investment in my future. Thank you in advance for any contributions that you make and for believing in me and my dreams!

The Cotillion

In 1963, the Executive Committee of the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter was exploring fundraising ideas for the chapter when Grace Soloman, a chapter officer, conceived the idea of a Cotillion as a fundraiser. Under the leadership of Bertha Maxwell Roddey and Grace Solomon, the first Cotillion took place on April 17, 1964 where 20 young ladies were presented. The Cotillion Season spread over several months, as it does now, with the culmination being the Cotillion Ball. The legacy continues.

History of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is a public service organization whose purpose is to promote human welfare. At the inception of Delta Sigma Theta in 1913 at Howard University, Washington, D.C. the twenty-two founders envisioned an organization pledged to serious endeavors and community service. These goals are realized through the Sorority’s major programmatic thrusts, which continue to focus on economic development, political awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, international awareness and involvement, and Arts and Letters.
