Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated – Alpha Delta Zeta Chapter announces the winners of its 58th Debutante Cotillion held at the Jackson Convention Center December 17. Alpha Delta Zeta Chapter sponsors this presentation annually making it the longest running debutante cotillion comprised of young African-American ladies in the state of Mississippi.

The theme for this year’s cotillion was “Millennial Pearls of Grace.” Through the Zeta’s distinct debutante program, highly qualified young ladies were selected by the sorority to cultivate and develop sound character, social principles and strong career aspirations.

The 2016 Zeta Debutantes prepared for this year’s presentation by attending charm, etiquette, and professional clinics sponsored by the sorority and engaging in community service activities.

They were also featured in the 2016 Talent and Fashion Show that was held November 11. The Cotillion included winners from the 2016 Talent and Fashion Show and the crowning of the 2016 Miss Debutante. The winner for 2016 Miss Debutante is Jalila D. Haynes, daughter of Mr. S.
