Pageants suck! And I hate the Miss Black and Gold Pageant with a passion! As a program, it stretches brothers and small chapters to the limit and objectifies women (albeit subtly). I would much rather just give out scholarships without the "talent" and "platforms."
That said.... if there has to be a Miss Black and Gold, I am DEFINITELY pleased to see that it has a counterpart in AKA, even if it's not a national program like ours.
I met the King of the Ivy for Alpha Chapter and he's a very nice young man!
