I am not sure why you asked this as I didn't watch, but I don't believe she's in a NPC sorority - she graduated from COLLEGE at 18. I also don't believe UW-Green Bay has a big Greek system, I could only find one sorority and one fraternity listed on their website.

Okay, I know this isn't what it looks like, but doesn't it look like she is strangling the winnner???;)

OK, I know I'm tuning in late but . . .

First off, I have to say that I HATED the quiz. Is that new this year, or have they done it before? I haven't watched Miss America in a few years. You could tell by Miss Hawaii's facial expression that she had no clue what most of the answers were, she was just guessing, yet she ended up doing really well. If anything, don't make it multiple choice, because then somebody with great luck can easily score just as high as somebody who actually knows the anwers.

Also, I hated Miss Maryland's clothes in the casual competition. Whoever said that she looked like she was trapped in the 80s -- ditto. I had jeans like that when I was seven. I am not making that up.

I loved Florida, Hawaii (I thought she should have won, actually, but Florida was wonderful too), and of course Wisconsin. I liked Miss California until the talent competition, which I think is what did her in (both her choice of song and the fact that she was probably the weakest of the four singers). I liked that Miss Wisconsin's talent was something other than singing. Maryland just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason -- maybe it was those 80s clothes. :D Her clothes during the talent section didn't impress me, and I can't remember her formal or swimsuit but I probably didn't like those either. :) I loved Miss Oklahoma and wish she would have made the top five.

I was surprised Wisconsin made it as far as she did -- not that she wasn't awesome, but usually we never even make it to the top 15. Of course, I would have thrown something if she hadn't at least made it to the top ten. How can you not give a girl major points for skipping high school and going straight to college?

I liked casual wear -- thought it was cute -- and hated Trista and Ryan's "party." Who cares?

I have always watched this program to see the bathing suit competition.If they want to get more viewers they should show all fifty bathing suits during the three hours.That would keep us watching the entire show. The talent always suck,none of them could sing, there has only been one Miss America who has ever made a professional singing career and that was Vanessa Williams.That casual modeling segment was really bad.
I missed the beginning,did they announce
what school they attended? I also knew she was a Delta the minute I saw the Elephants.I have always thought there has been a good representation of Sorority Women in the contest. I know Debbie Turner and Marjorie Vincent are members of Alpha Kappa Alpha,Erica ( Imitation of Life ) Harold, probably didn't associate with Black greeks at U of I.
I thought Miss Virginia would make the final ten. I thought the questions were really easy and the Jeopardy contest was also very basic.

The right girl won!! Loved Miss Florida :) Miss Maryland should've been done before the top 15. UGH! Anyways, the highlight of the show for me was Clay!! And Miss Oklahoma got totally ripped.
