She does sound like a great role model. Too bad about not being able to demonstrate her archery. I guess they were afraid that that might be one more way to eliminate the competition???

We can only hope for this occurrance, as some years only three or four of six preliminary winners move into Top 15/Top 10. Ask Miss Georgia 1987 Kelly Jereles, double prelim winner but not in Top Ten.

Also, I'm not sure how it's done at national level, but at the state level here your prelim scores are thrown out when you get down to the wire. I've had a friend win every prelim category except interview (but still did well in interview), made it to the top 5, and get first runner up due to new scoring.

Oklahoma won Swimsuit and Minnesota won Talent. She played the violin.

[celebcj]

So far the winners have been:
Swimsuit: MS (Chi Omega) and OK (Gamma Phi Beta)
Talent: NH (Alpha Epsilon Phi) and MN (Alpha Xi Delta)

Miss Georgia won Swimsuit (Delta Delta Delta)
and Miss Florida won Talent (Delta Delta Delta) She twirled baton, despite tearing her ACL in rehearsal today!
Congratulations, Tri Delta!

This state has never won Miss America (in all its 93 years!) but Miss Idaho Sarah Downs (Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Beta chapter, University of Pennsylvania) has won the Fourpoints Scholarship for reflecting what the Four Points of the Crown represent: Scholarship~Service~Success~and Style. Congratulations!

Miss Idaho has won the Fourpoints award in each of the past three Miss America contests.

Does any ZTA know whether Sarah was in the 2011 recolonization class at Penn? (she's age 23 now)

Crystal Lee, Stanford Tri Delta, has won the Miss America STEM Schorlarship.

Is there still a Question from the Judges for the Top Five segment in the televised Miss America Pageant?

Considering 22 of 53 contestants are known to be NPC Greek, there will likely be a question regarding the UA situation (see other long thread elsewhere within GC).

Yet another fun reason to tune-in the pageant ABC TV Sunday evening!

Miss Alabama attends UA and is Greek (ZTA); have TMZ or ET cornered her regarding the issue?

You are right about that! I didn't even think about that. There is a good chance that'll pop up! I hope they are prepped!
