Miss Seventeen on MTV - GLOs
 

It premiers tonight and I believe there are members of NPHC organizations on there. How come none of the contestants are 17?

Because it's for Seventeen Magazine, not Miss Seventeen as in the age.

duh. I just don't understand why they don't have more contestants who are teens or in HS since that is who the magazine is geared towards.

there's an NPC girl!!!

Savannah, is an ADPi from my chapter!

It's a lot harder to get girls who are under 18 to be on reality shows, since they need their parents' consent too, not just the girls. Parents tend to be less permissive of this kind of thing -- especially parents of girls who are highly focused on academic/extracurricular success.

Also, I have no idea when this show was filmed (maybe it was over the summer), but if it overlapped with the school year at all, the "living in New York City" thing would be difficult for anyone in high school.

OMG that is so awesome Savannah is in the running!!

OMG That is so AWESOME!!!!!

When is does this show even air? I might have to watch. Root on my sister.

10:30 Mondays after Laguna Beach

Ok, now I'm so much less impressed by these girls. There were a few that I was thinking, "Wow, she's soo mature for only 17." Others I felt were right on par for a HS senior. Now that I realize these are grown azz women, I'm a bit let down.

Seventeen tries to appeal to college age women as well, but in a day & age where 12 year olds read Cosmo I don't know how they are doing.

Do you know which orgs they are members of?

I see there is a Univ. of Minnesota student. I'll be rooting for her!

Leah is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I'm not sure about the other girls.

I feel the same way about Skyler. Go Crimson! :D

Off topic.. but I remember it was my dad who got me a subsription to seventeen when I was in middle school, bc I was such a tomboy. Do you think he was trying to tell me something..

But I find it odd too that these girls would be in college.. ? With a name like seventeen its kind of hard to appeal to an older audience.

can someone post pics please?
