In the official 2015 Miss America Pageant booklet one of the contestant's sponsored advertisements features a small Delta Sigma Theta crest, but I don't think it's in the Miss Delaware ad. My sister has my pageant book right now, but when I get it back from her later this week I can check and respond. It's great that Delta Sigma Theta would help pay for a contestant's ad, whether or not she is a DST member.

In the same pageant booklet Phi Mu's Alpha Zeta/University of Alabama chapter paid for their sister's full page Miss Alabama ad, and Alpha Delta Pi's Delta/University of Texas Chapter sponsored their sister's full page Miss Texas ad.

All such adverts are considered optional and do not count points toward a Miss America crown. If they did Miss Oklahoma would win every year as she tends to have the most ads in the booklet.

Our chapters do stuff like that all the time for people who are not members, and I agree it's is pretty cool. The contestant could be a former debutante of the chapter or a family member or something. I always say it never hurts to ask all possible resources, especially when people are doing ad books!

I have the feeling that most of us know about at least a couple of these!
