Miss USA
 

Are there any greeks representing at this years Miss USA pageant? To be aired March 17th from San Antonio, Texas.

There are a few Chi-O's representing their states....I think there was a post in the Chi O forum......

Here's a thread from a while ago listing the affiliations of some of the women -- probably not all of them though.

Miss Arkansas-USA is an Alpha Sigma Alpha from Henderson State!! :D (Thanks to PsychTau for the info!)

Miss Florida, Carrie Mewha is a KD

I think Miss Vermont is an Alpha Delta Pi....and from prior threads, the ladies representing Nebraska, Wyoming, and Kentucky are Chi Omegas.......

Miss Mississippi is a KKG!
 

Miss Mississippi, Allison Bloodworth is a Kappa Kappa Gamma!

miss new mexico is a member of pi beta phi

FYI:

the 2003 Miss USA pageant will air live from San Antonio on Monday, March 24, not today, the 17th:)

Thanks.. I thought I missed it !

the miss usa (america) pagent is in september. the miss UNIVERSE pagent is march 24.

check out missamerica.com
and missusa.com

Actually, the Miss USA and Miss America pageants are totally different things. There are a number of differences between them, such as the fact that Miss USA does not have a talent competition (I think) and instead counts the interview for more of the total score. The USA and America pageants are actually the uppermost categories (well, second to uppermost for the Miss USA pageant, which feeds into the Miss Universe pageant) in two completely different pageant systems, and usually a girl who does competitions will pick one system and stick with it -- you usually don't see a girl competing for Miss USA AND Miss America, for example.

You're right, the Miss America pageant is in September. But the Miss USA pageant is next week. The Miss Universe pageant airs in May, I think.

Another bit of pageant trivia: individual state winners in the Miss America pageant are referred to as "Miss [insert name of state here]" but those in the Miss USA pageant are referred to as Miss [insert name of state here]-USA." For example, "Miss Wisconsin" is not the same thing as "Miss Wisconsin-USA."

Correction to the correction
 

the Miss America pageant isn't until September, 2003

the Miss USA pageant is on Monday, March 24, 2003

the Miss Universe pageant is in May, 2003 in Panama

the last two items are per the www.missusa.com website:D

Re: correction
 

That's not correct

Miss USA and Miss America are two totally separate pageants.

Miss USA IS this Monday, the 24.

Miss America is held in September.

Not sure when Miss Universe is held.... I think sometime during the summer.

sorry i misread. miss usa next week. miss universe in may. miss america in september.
sorry:o :(

Miss USA goes to compete at Miss Universe.
Miss America does not go on to a subsequent pageant.
Also, Miss America is not a pageant, it's a "scholarship organization" ;)

Miss Louisiana-USA is a Phi Mu.

Actually, there have been quite a few "crossovers" in recent years. Off the top of my head I can think of two Miss Californias and a Miss Vermont that went between the two pageants (I know there are more). Also, many Miss (State) USAs have participated in Miss America pageants on just the local level, and vice versa.

For the most part you're right, though...you don't get too many girls being die-hard, gung-ho contestants in both systems.

I do know that Miss Vermont in 2000 or 2001 - Katy Johnson is a Tri Delta from Stetson University (where I went to school). She actually moved out of Florida to Vermont, because her chances of going to Miss USA (I think) were better in Vermont than in Florida. Katy J was the girl that tripped down the stairs. Her nick-name in Tri-Delta was Barbie, for obvious reasons. :) It was cool to see someone you knew on stage at Miss USA, even if she didn't make it that far in the competition.

Jen, I know someone from your chapter - I'll shoot you a PM!

I've always thought "Miss Universe" is a funny name for a pagent. It makes me think of solar systems.

From The University of New Mexico...everyone's a LOBO!

hehehe that's so funny you mention that.. I always think of "The Jetsons" when I hear "Miss Universe" :p

It happens, and it's becoming more common lately . . . but it still doesn't happen TOO often, and it definitely did not happen a lot in the past. Probably that can be attributed to the differences between the two pageants -- a girl working in the USA pageant circuit knew she didn't have to worry about the talent competition, etc.

Miss South Caroline is a tridelt...

My mistake, that was a typo *duh Susan* North Carolina is a tridelt--sorry. I just got curious as to see who all was in the pagent..seems to be alot of greeks in it this year.

Is she or isn't she?
 

Does anyone know if the new Miss USA, Miss Massachusetts, has a Greek affiliation?

This is a little late but I just realized that Miss Colorado USA is Erin MacGregor. She attended the University of Colorado the same time I did, was also Miss Colorado (America) a couple of years ago and is a member of Alpha Chi Omega.

Re: Is she or isn't she?
 

Endicott College, in Beverly, MA does not have a Greek System. If she is a member of a NPC or NPHC organization, then it is through alumna affiliation.
