Alpha Chi Pi
I looked around but didn't find a thread about this. Anyone seen this yet?

I'm a bit disturbed by their "sponsor"...

But, overall, it's kinda cute.

Lol o wow. I love competing in pageants, but I don't think I would ever join a sorority that was all about pageants!

Of those, the only useful benefit is the opportunity to apply for scholarships.... and you can apply for scholarships in a regular sorority, or even if you are not Greek at all.
super fun but not worth the $125 fee imho!!!

It's called a sorority, but I think it fits better under society or honorary. The benefits and stuff remind me more of those type of groups.

I'm sorry, but a lot of these "pageants" are businesses (especially for children. I'm not talking about Miss USA/Miss America and their qualifying pageants). This isn't a real sorority. It's just another pageant dressed up to look like a sorority. Looks like the owners of the Royal Icing jewelry business want to expand into pageants and decided to name it Alpha Chi Pi.

Click on "members" and take a look at the charter members. Some of those girls look all of 5 or 6 years old.

I like that even though it says Alpha Chi Pi on the website, the top of the page says Alpha Ki Pi.
EDIT: Wow, beaten like a redheaded stepchild.

I was really impressed by the fact that while half of the links still read "under construction" (such as the mission statement), the online store seems to be up and running quite well. 
on a side note, while several of my friends enjoyed entering pagents, it was never anything I did. But there was one pagent I always wished I had entered- New Straightsville Ohio has a Moonshine Festival. I thought it would be great to be the Moonshine Queen.
Imagine-
"Hi, I'm Jen the Apple Queen"
- response
"Oh yeah, Well I'm the Moonshine Queen!"
Moonshine queen wins every time!

"Alpha Ki Pi".. hahahaha...
What a kooky idea. I have to say tho, my "family" in our chapter was the Royal Family, so if I were still an active I would be all about the princess and crown jewelery. *ducks and hides*

There is something wrong when it takes 5 girls to do their "hand sign".
Oh, and the fact that it's just a huge marketing scam is pretty wrong too.
