That "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" guy was good but he completely oversang the song. I was surprised the judges didn't say anything about it.

Totally wrong thread, but I only notice that because I thought this was the American Idol thread too ...

Isn't the pageant over yet or is this now a complete reality show?

There is a reality show competition that leads up to the actual 2009 pagenat on January 24th.

I almost hate to admit this, but with the pageant being the same weekend in September for all of those years, I used to think it was part of my birthday. I will definitely watch it, but it's not the same in January.

Here's an attempt at a Master List:


Miss Alabama is Amanda Tappley - Chi Omega from Samford.

Miss Alaska is Stephany Jeffers - Pi Beta Phi from University of Oklahoma.

Miss Georgia is Chasity Hardman - Phi Mu from UGA.

Miss Illinois is Katie Lorenz - Delta Gamma from U of Michigan & Loyala-Chicago.

Miss Kentucky is Emily Cox - Alpha Delta Pi from U of Kentucky.

Miss Missouri is Lacey Fitzgerald - Phi Mu from Northwest Missouri State University.

Miss Montana is Jennifer Hepner - Kappa Kappa Gamma from U of Montana.

Miss Oklahoma is Kelsey Cartwright - Alpha Phi from Oklahoma City University.

Miss South Carolina is Anna Perry - Delta Delta Delta from William & Mary.

Miss Tennessee is Ellen Carrington - Chi Omega from Union University.

Miss Utah is Kayla Barclay - Kappa Delta from Utah State (the website says Brigham Young).

Hmmm, I'd love for a KD to be in the competition, but I can't verify her on the national site.

Can any other KD's?

If you mean the national Miss America site, most of them don't mention any sorority affiliation. They may say Order of the Omega or such, but not their actual GLO.

If you mean the national KD site, that's another story.

While I don't know of any Greek affiliation for Miss Virginia. She is the goalie for the Penn State Women's hockey team. She recently went one on one with one of our AHL players to raise money for the local children's hospital.

I did! Since the hometown girl wasn't in "gold sash contention" I voted for Kansas, South Dakota, California, and Florida - though Indiana and Georgia were right in there. I'll be interested to see who won America's votes! And of course who wins.

As much as I should be supporting the gal representing my state, I just can't.

The girl's not even from Hawaii. She was Miss San Jose (or Santa Clara, can't remember) last year and hasn't even been here that long. A lot of the girls I supported from the prelim contests (including a girl from my HS alma mater) all came in so close in multiple attempts. and was in their last year of eligibility. In comes this transplant and takes the crown.

Yes, I know. I'm bitter.
