Has your sorority been represented in a beauty pageant?

Hi everyone, I love sororities and I LOVE to watch beauty pageants: Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Universe, Miss Teen USA, you name it!

Anyhow, I just wanted to poll everyone and if you know of one of your sorority sisters who participated in a pageant, and if so, to please post her name, sorority, the state she represented, and the pageant name (with year)

These are some that I gleaned from websites so far:
Ali Landry - Kappa Delta - Miss USA 1996
Julie Moran - Kappa Alpha Theta - Former America's Junior Miss
Leanza Cornett - Delta Delta Delta - Miss America 1993
Deborah Norville - Delta Delta Delta - Former America's Junior Miss
Shawn Weatherly - Delta Delta Delta - Miss USA and Miss Universe 1980
Donna Axum Whitworth - Delta Delta Delta - Miss America 1964
Sylvia Hitch**** - Chi Omega - Former Miss Universe
Mary Ann Mobley - Chi Omega - Former Miss America
Lynda Mead Shea - Chi Omega - Former Miss America
Juliette Powell - Alpha Omicron Pi (unconfirmed)- Former Miss Canada

Thank you! I am looking forward to your posts!

Well, not exactly a beauty pageant...the College of Engineering at OU has a rich and long tradition (80+ years)...part of that tradition is choosing a Queen every year, who represents the College at Homecoming and other occasions. In the past few years, three of our sisters have been so honored, including Artimis and yours truly!

I know last year in the Miss America pageant was an Alpha Chi Omega from I think North Dakotah or somewhere up north! Sorry I can't be more specific, I just remember being told to keep an eye out for her!
