I read that Miss Kentucky is a member of Alpha Delta Pi at Eastern Kentucky University

There is a thread around here (maybe in Chit Chat? I just searched here, and it's not here) about this, but I only mention that because

Is it true that the Miss America Pagent is going to be on CMT later this month (January)?!?!?! Someone told me that today, and I couldn't believe it!

Miss Louisiana, Molly Causey, is a Kappa Delta.

Miss America will be telecast next Saturday, January 21, on CMT.

Thanks so much for the list! It's always fun to know who's who.

The only thing is that Miss California who's a member of "Alpha Chi" - that's an honor society. I had heard of it before so I checked to make sure they had a chapter at California Baptist U.

Okay, I'll take her out. It was written as if it was a local - that's why I threw it in. The other one whom I wasn't sure about was Erika Powell, from Furman. There's no mention of a GLO, but the system pretty strong there (isn't it?).

And of course, which GLO Kristi Glakas of Virginia represents!

I don't know a thing about Furman. I googled her name and didn't come across anything sorority-ish. Interestingly though, she went to Bob Jones Academy for high school.

And I can't find Kristi Glakas anywhere under GMU!!

The Bob Jones makes me think that Erika Powell wasn't in a sorority, though.

Is it me, or has the number REALLY decreased? Or, are delegates just not listing affiliations as much?

Don't know if they're purposely not listing affiliations, but in the local program I volunteer with, there's only so much room in the contestant profile sheets they fill out. The pageant directors encourage the girls to list their affiliations and involvement, but they also stress that they should limit them to community and academic only.

I'm not saying that's the norm for everyone, just how it is in the Miss Hawaii program.

Another thing to remember is that some local programs are made up of high school seniors (our local pagent is - but we also do not have a college in our town)

Miss Ohio (Marlia Fontaine) went to The University of Akron (and my high school) but she never joined a GLO.

Well this current Miss America was very lucky that she got to extend her reign out a few more months because of the network wrangling to find a home....... What Sorority was Deidre Downs in?

[LXA SE285]

Deidra Downs was an AXO at Virginia but finished school at Samford, where they don't have a chapter.
