Someone posted in the Gamma Phi Beta forum that Miss Missouri is a Gamma Phi. I'm not sure which chapter...maybe Missouri?

ETA: Bio says she's a grad of St. Louis University.

Per her bio, Miss Illinois USA is a Delta Gamma from University of Illinois.

Miss Hawaii USA is a friend of mine. It's not too often you'll see me rooting for my hometown girl in pageants, but I'll be cheering Aureana on tomorrow night!

While she's not Greek, she's an accomplished hula dancer -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhk2...eature=related

My husband and I are painting our living room, and have it on in the background. He keeps on commenting how trashy (well, I think he actually used words such as "slutty" and "whorish") it is and how typical Trump.

What kind of hooker harem dress is Miss Arkansas wearing?! I'm not surprised she didn't make Top 5. I know it's all about confidence, and I'm sure it takes a confident person to wear that, but that just looks like something you'd see on a Rock of Love contestant... well, maybe if you hiked up the length about 30 inches

Oh my goodness. That dress is so trashy and tacky. It's not just the style, but the colors are like a Valentine's card display. Miss West Virginia is pretty, but her dress is almost too similar to one of the Miss Universe contestant's dress from last year, where the top part is nude and the bottom part is another color. I love both Miss North Carolina's and Miss Utah's dresses.

And why did Miss Tennessee had her hair in a ponytail? I liked her hair down.

As far who I was pulling for, I was pulling for Arizona and California. And I did not like it when Billy interviewed NC after she won.

Im so glad other people thought that dress was awful too. Not that she didn't have the body to pull it off, but just not appropriate IMO.

That dress was atrocious. On another note, did anyone see that her interests were "armadillo watching" and "playing the fiddle"? I have never been more proud to be an Arkansas native than the moment I read that.

The armadillo watching might have been a joke, but she happens to be quite accomplished at fiddle... I'm just glad she's still the same grounded, extremely sweet Chanley that I had the pleasure to serve on student government with at UCA.
