Escorts

WHY ARE WE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ESCORT?

You will find that in your lifetime, you will be invited to many different types of social events. Some you will want to attend alone, while others you will prefer to bring a guest. It is good to learn to be comfortable and confident in both situations.

If you think about it, how often in your High School years do you really get to bring a date to an event? Maybe a handful of times, if you're lucky. And how often do you wait to be asked, or get asked by someone you don't really like? By requiring you to bring an escort to three of our events in a year, we empower you to choose who to invite, as well as increase your opportunities to practice. The more you practice, the less awkward the whole experience becomes.

WHO SHOULD I TAKE TO COTILLION?

(Let's practice some SOCIAL SKILLS...)

SELF-MASTERY

Resist the urge to ask someone that you "like" or someone that you are dating, if you don’t think he will be a good fit for the type of event. Not every boy enjoys dancing and parties, and if your date isn't having fun, you will have a bad experience, no matter how great a guy he is.

COMMUNICATION

When you ask someone, make sure he and his parents understand all of our expectations and that they are comfortable with all of them. This way, there are no surprises at the event, and everything goes smoothly for both of you. Also, it is important to set your boundaries. If you are only going "as friends," and there is no romantic interest whatsoever, make sure your date knows that.

SOCIAL AWARENESS

Choose someone who is respectful to you and considerate of others , including the adult chaperones at the event. Careful consideration of this can save you a lot of embarrassment and heartache from potentially inviting someone who is rude, disobedient, and impolite.

RESPONSIBLE CHOICE

Choose someone who can build your confidence and the confidence of others. Bring someone who will bring positive energy to the event, is fun to be around and can also help others have a great experience. Cotillion is NOT about dating and romance - it is about helping you feel empowered and confident as a young lady.
