The process of becoming a Cotillionette begins with the completion of the Cotillionette Profile form and submission to the Los Angeles Cotillion Chairperson. Each Cotillionette must be sponsored by a member of the Los Angeles (CA) Chapter of Links and must be a senior in high school during the fall of 2024. The season begins with the Parent Information Meeting (time=TBD).

Each family will receive a Cotillion Handbook. The handbook provides information and guidance useful during the Cotillion season. During normal circumstances, each Cotillionette is required to donate a minimum of 75 hours of volunteer service to a community service agency or cause. Additionally, Cotillionettes participate in a variety of activities planned by the Leadership Institute.

Most of these activities are held during the summer months and may include the following activities:

• Essay writing/Interviewing skills
• International Empowerment Summit
• Cultural Awareness Activities such as theatrical performances
• Self-Esteem Workshops
• Health and Fitness Education
• Entrepreneur Workshop
• Virtual HBCU Tours
• Public Speaking and Global Exposure Workshop
• Legal Savvy Workshops
• Social Bonding Activities
