Mister Pink & Green?

[LikeASista]

I came across the website of Xi Kappa Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. today and thought it was quite interesting.

They have begun conducting a pageant entitled Mr. Pink & Green. Sorors, why is this not a more national event? In a society that considers nothing wrong with prancing women onstage as trophies to be won (as well as one in which the ideal Black male is considered a dying species), I thought Xi Kappa Chapter took on the unique opportunity to emphasize the productivity and positive choices of African American males through this annual function. A rather interesting twist on pageantry I might add. Any thoughts?

I like that title.

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!

We used to sell a calendar and had a contest at a bar where the gentleman walked the catwalk, it was a HUGE seller! After the gentleman won, they were photographed and placed in a 12 month calender.

I can't remember what we used to call it, but I can distinctly recall a photography of a muscular Rattler pulling himself out of a pool with ringlets of water sliding down his body.... whew!

We had this event every year undergrad as well, it was pretty popular.I know us, the Deltas, the Alphas, Kappas, all had some type of pageant.
