I also found Miss Illinois Abby Foster is a Delta Zeta! This was on her chapter's instagram.

Good detective work! So many state contests are on Saturday night, in the middle of the Pi Phi convention. It would be wonderful if the contestants would just list their affiliations in their bios!

LOL, it would certainly make our sleuthing easier, wouldn't it? I don't mind having to dig a little for info, though. Enjoy your convention!

Years ago when I owned a few 1950's/60's Miss America program VHS tapes it made my day to hear a broadcast announcer mention a contestant's sorority affiliation, usually along with her college and a favorite pet's name. The winner's greek letters were often mentioned again during her crowning moment.

Nowadays any Miss America contestant's bio is so much stronger than just her greek letters!
