Miss America 2014

[ASUADPi]

According to my full list 20/51 are Greek and not all the states have had their pageants yet. Almost a 50% chance of the future Miss America being a greek.

Don't they still have Miss Virgin Islands and Miss Puerto Rico, making 53 contestants?

I don't know. I didn't know they had those. I know that there is Miss District of Columbia.

With the 2 other ones it would be 20/53. Still pretty decent odds that the winner will be Greek

You can vote for America's Choice among the 53 contestants by going to the Miss America page on Facebook, OR

to miss america.org website and click News, then Press Releases, and scroll down to date 8/15/13 and click Let the Miss America Voting Begin...sorry I fail at links!

BTW I watched some of each video and think Miss California will win (but voted for Miss Alaska).

I am more biased for Miss Ohio this year because she is a SisterGreek AND a KSU grad student/Alum!

Cannot wait to see the gowns! I'm normally very good at calling the top 5!

The number is 22., not 21. At least I count 22.

Correction (although I know you aren't the author): Miss Ohio, Heather Wells, went to Kent State not Youngstown.

Miss Alabama Chandler Champion showed off her competition wardrobe to AL.com before leaving for the 2014 Miss America pageant. The highlight of her wardrobe is a houndstooth dress sporting the Alabama National Championship emblem on the back. The Ann Northington-designed outfit will be worn during the "Show Us Your Shoes Parade" on Sept. 14. “With Chandler being a University of Alabama student and the university being the national champs for three years, we chose to do national champs,” she said.
