The Ball has been held every year since 1923 with the exception of the World War II years.

Young ladies are selected by more than 200 nominators throughout the state. The final approval of the Debutantes is made by the Terpsichorean Club members. The invitations are extended to the young ladies in recognition of the contributions their families have made to the economic, cultural, social and civic life of North Carolina.
