For 72 years, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Mu Omega Chapter has presented biennially some of Kansas City’s finest young ladies as a Debutante to Kansas Society.   Following the incorporation of the Metropolitan Leadership Institute, Incorporated (“MLI”), in 2011, Mu Omega Chapter and  MLI have collaborated to present the Debutante Ball biennially.

 

The Debutante Ball season brings together young ladies who attend self-enriching workshops, participate in community service activities, trained to dance formally for the Debutante Ball and make memorable sisterly fellowship moments,

 

​​Mu Omega Chapter and Metropolitan Leadership Institute, Inc., proudly host the 72nd Debutante Ball, which will take place on November 28, 2025, at the Kansas City Downtown Marriott.
