Miss America Greeks- West Coaster's Don't read!
 

I don't want to spoil things for the west-coasters who are on tape delay and don't get to see it live.

But how are all the greeks doing? How many greeks made top 15?

KD's representative, Miss North Carolina, has made top 15.

Top 15 are:
Kelly McCorkle - Miss South Carolina
Jennifer Adcock - Miss Mississippi
Teresa Benitez - Miss Nevada
Casey Preslar - Miss Oklahoma
Misty Clymer - Miss North Carolina
Tangra Riggle - Miss Indiana
Scarlotte Deupree - Miss Alabama
Tanisha Brito - Miss Connecticut
Lisa Dalzell - Miss Texas
Amanda Beers - Miss Washington
Melanie Beth Correia - Miss Massachusetts
Erika Harold - Miss Illinois
Tiffany Walker - Miss New York
Laura Lawless - Miss Arizona
Camille Lewis - Miss Maryland

Miss Mississippi --- a member of Delta Delta Delta at the University of Southern Mississippi... she graduated in May.

fyi -- This was her first year at Miss Mississippi and she won... Everyone was shocked... because most Miss Mississippi's have been contestants for several years in a row before they won.

Top ten:

Jennifer Adcock - Miss Mississippi Teresa Benitez - Miss Nevada
Casey Preslar - Miss Oklahoma
Scarlotte Deupree - Miss Alabama
Tanisha Brito - Miss Connecticut
Lisa Dalzell - Miss Texas
Melanie Beth Correia - Miss Massachusetts
Erika Harold - Miss Illinois
Tiffany Walker - Miss New York
Camille Lewis - Miss Maryland

Misty's gone :( No KD Miss America this year.

Top 5:
Teresa Benitez - Miss Nevada
Casey Preslar - Miss Oklahoma
Scarlotte Deupree - Miss Alabama
Erika Harold - Miss Illinois
Camille Lewis - Miss Maryland

Mississippi is gone now too!

I know:(

I am not sure I agree with the top five completely...

Erika Harold - Miss Illinois
Camille Lewis - Miss Maryland

I think they belonged... but I am not sure I would have picked the other three..

I am sad Miss Mississippi was cut too. :( I really liked her.

Okay, why does everyone on these Paegent shows think they can sing? There were a few people on there who should NOT have been singing!

Lol on the singing comment. :) I think a lot of people incorrectly think they can sing!

What to ya'll think about this Miss American quiz? When I heard about it, I thought it would be a serious quiz on current news and policy issues.... it seems more like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" I am a bit disappointed. Who cares who knows what Bruce Springsteen's post- 9/11 alum is titled?????

Good idea, bad outcome. It made some of the people look kinda silly.

I went to HS with Miss Maryland, Camille Lewis. Though always a very pretty girl, she has gotton gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
However during the Quiz bit all I could think was that I hoped our American history teacher wasn't watching :(:(

>should not have been singing

Amen to that!

Does anyone know Miss Illinois/Miss America's affiliation? She went to UIUC so it'd be a bit surprising if she weren't greek.

I did a google search on her name and didn't find anything about being in a sorority anywhere. The closest she is is being Phi Beta Kappa.

I was EXTREMELLY disappointed watching the talent competition. What qualifies as talent amazes me. The violin player (maryland?) truely had talent, but the others are quite debatable.

I wish the whole top ten got to perform their talent, maybe we wouldn't seen something better.

Well I guess the greeks have to hold out until Miss USA (when is it?). There's a ton of greeks in that- Miss Florida- KD! I think we have another KD too, can't remember who.

I'm not sure when Miss USA is? i checked out the site out of curiosity, and I think the next Miss USA is in early spring of 2003.

Miss District of Columbia USA is Miss USA I believe...

... I have just always wondered why D.C. competes for Miss USA seperately, while other people have to compete in statewide pagents in order to compete in Miss USA?

I go to U of I and I don't believe Erika Harold was Greek. She's unlisted in the Greek telephone guide and I would have heard about it by now if she were. For such a big school, news travels fast :)

*cough* great talent if you like Yanni or Vanessa Mae.

In today's paper, there was an editorial/commentary by one of the regulars. He had posted one article last week on how relevant Ms. America is these days...how many MAs can you name other than Vanessa Willams, lol!

Anyway, he had a followup today. Writing about a neighbor who always MAKES her family watch the pageant even if there is a football game. Well, writer says his granddaughter was over there and had a comment about the talent show, in particular one contestant, "Well, I guess she's showing them she doesn't have any talent!";) :p :)

That was terribly rude, just because you don't appreciate something doesn't mean that she isn't talented.....

As I see it, its much like that commercial for art education where the little boy is walking with his mom and tells the musician to get a job. Ignorance for talent does not equal a lack of talent.

From the better late than never school of GreekChat!

I just got The Adelphean today, and saw that Miss Alabama, Scarlotte Deupree (first runner up) is a member of Eta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. "She was chosen as the pageant participants' choice for the next Miss America."

Interestingly, I was "watching" the pagent on another message board, and all the guys there were saying that Miss Alabama was robbed! Having watched pagents since I was a kid (and can usually pick at least 8 out of the 10 semi-fianlists), I had agreed!

One of my pledge sisters is competing in the Miss Georgia pageant this June!

Lindsey Smith-Sands (Alpha Phi and Miss Washington County) is competing in the Miss Oregon Pageant July 10-12. We are all cheering her on! Her picture on her site is too large to post, but you can check out her thread in the Alpha Phi Forum.
