Our national magazine had it...there were probably more, but I usually go straight to the Florida ladies. I've got it in my very messy desk drawer, so I should look.

In her interview, Miss Hawaii USA Christy Lynn Leonard said that she served as treasurer and president of her sorority in Santa Barbara. I know that UCSB has a strong Greek life, but she didn't specify which sorority she was in as an undergrad. If anyone knows, do tell!

Anybody know anything about the Miss USA contestants that competed last night? I didn't watch most of that, but I saw a portion of it. Miss Texas won (of course)!

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

The reigning Miss Georgia 2000 - Pam Kennedy - is a Kappa Delta from my campus (Univ. of West Georgia).
Before I was in school here at UWG, back when Little Sisters were still legal, one of my chapter's Pike Little Sisters was Miss Georgia 1988, and I think she was a Phi Mu.

Besides the one listed, Kappa Delta has no others. But Monica Palumbo from Alpha Delta Pi at ECU was in the recent Miss USA padgent. She was named Miss Congeniality. CONGRATS Monica. All the Greeks at ECU are very proud of you!

I don't know which sorority Miss Iowa (from Miss America) was in,
but this is an amazing story.
Very uplifting story of triumph over adversity!

"There's something about Theresa ..." http://www.nationalpost.com/search/s...03/463690.html

"When Theresa Uchytil walked up to the Miss America podium, introduced herself as Miss Iowa 2000 and then said, "And I'm just going to tell you upfront. Fact. I was born without my left hand, and I wear a prosthesis, so if you see a left hand lying around, it's probably mine," the audience roared. Her comment was picked up by news wires across the country. Who was this confident baton-twirling beauty queen?

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you ... Miss Iowa 2000."

Ah! Yes! You're right! ...I completely glossed right over that when I read it! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Miss Alabama 1997, Beth Stomps was a Pi Phi.

Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995, was an AOPi from Jacksonville State University (the school I'm about to call home!) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

One of my AOII sisters at Georgia Southern University won the Miss. GSU pageant and one took 3rd place and the winner is going on to compete in the Miss. Georgia Pageant this summer

Hey, that's cool.
Does the winner of
Miss Georgia -> Miss America
or
Miss Georgia -> Miss USA?

Just wondering...that's great...AOII's everywhere must be proud! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

She's Miss Alabama USA, not Miss Alabama. See the post above. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

On the More Local level in Miss America system:
I was forunate to compete with some great Greek Ladies at Miss California last year, with 54 women. California has the largest pageant in the Miss America system, I believe...some states have as little as 10!

Miss San Diego: Pierette Robinson is a Pi Beta Phi at UC San Diego, Second Runner up for America Sweetheart Pageant also, Second Runner up to Miss California twice, and 1st Runner up once.

Miss Los Angeles: Nicole Ferrera, THETA at Pepperdine University, Top 5 in Miss CA, Swimsuit winner, and ESPN sports show host.

Miss San Francisco and Currently Miss Marin County: Alyson Daly, Delta Zeta at U. San Francisco President, Top 10 and Swimsuit winner.

Miss Anaheim: Jamie Branch, Gamma Phi Beta

That's all I can remember...and, oh, myself, Nancy Bui, Miss San Luis Obispo County, Hostess Scholarship Winner, Theta at Cal Poly, SLO!

Hey! SLO Theta!

You know Pierrette?
What a small world! She is in my chapter! She was one of my Beta Buddies during pledge period! In fact, we just received a chapter e-mail from her. She has been a runner up for Miss California 2 years in a row now. We are so proud of her! You can actually see results from the pageant at www.misscalifornia.org. She won the bathing suit contest. There are plenty of pictures of her! But only headshots from what I've seen, guys! Haha http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif In addition to these accomplishments, she has almost single handedly gotten us where we are in IFC sports! Girlfriend is some sorority football quarterback! She took some major blows to the face and suffered many a bloody nose and bruises all in the name of Pi Beta Phi! Haha.

I heard about this at Convention....

It's great to see the sororities represented in Iowa! Miss Iowa 2000 is a Tri-Delt...and Miss Iowa 2001 is an Alpha Gam! We can't wait to watch the Miss America pageant this year!
