I too am a lover of pageants!!!

*I'm an Alpha Gam...Yes I am, Yes I am!*

Laurie Lea Schaefer, Miss America 1972 is an Alpha Xi Delta. There are also some other Alpha Xi's that won their state titles.

Okay, I love pageants too so you got me wondering and I went cruising around the site. I found out Miss Oklahoma is an Alpha Phi. Very cool. Now I have to watch the pageant.

Miss Colorado either last year or before was an Alpha Chi Omega. Her name is Erin MacGregor and she went to CU. I remember her from some four way mixers we did.

SDT has one...i took this off our chapter site, so i don't know if mrs. is upposed to be miss or not, but:
Suzy Donenfeld Katz was Mrs. America in 1987-1988

Heather White (Miss USA, I think) was an AOII, and last year's Miss Mississippi was an AOII from Ole Miss.

Pi Phi has had at least 3 Miss Americas--'58, '63, and '81, I believe. I also recall at least one Miss USA/Universe from the eighties named Courtney. The Miss Americas were Susan Akin, Marilyn VanDerbur,and Jacquelyn Mayer. I know we've had a bunch of state reps because I've seen them in our magazine!

Tri Delta has had at least one Miss America--Donna Axum--she taught in my hometown for awhile.

Not exactly on topic, but Heather Renee French goes to my school, the University of Cincinnati. I think she was/is Miss America. I don't think she was in a sorority. She's a grad student now anyway.
Heidi

Miss Florida and Miss Indiana are Alpha Chis. Jayne Jayroe, Miss America 1967, is also a member of Alpha Chi Omega. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey AXgirl!!!

Do you mean the Miss FL and Miss IN for this year's pageant? That is awesome! I guess for once I'll actually have to watch it since I usually refuse to. That is so cool!

LITB! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

i for one will be watching for our fellow greek gals!!

She's a Kappa Delta.

How do you guys find out what sorority these girls are in? It normally doesn't say on their bios, so I was just curious! Especially at the local and state levels!

What do you get when you cross and Alpha Omicron Pi and a Sigma Phi Epsilon? A beautiful Chi Omega!!!

I don't know about any Sigmas in big pageants, but an ADPi from East Carolina is Miss North Carolina and will be in the Miss USA pageant on March 2nd. She's also a really sweet girl and a very good representative for ADPi, ECU, and North Carolina.

I just spoke to another Delta Zeta alumna who said that her pledge sister, Lisa Gonzales, represented California in the Miss USA Pageant in either 1987 or 1988.
