Also, Miss Alabama is Alexa Jones, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi.

I know this information is posted in both Greek Life and Chit Chat, but I am really excited to see that EO not only posted the news about Kerri Mitchell, but told about the other NPC sisters competing! As someone who was very much into the Panhel scene in school, it's a thrill to see our EO showing us how Panhellenic thinking works!! Kudos to our Alpha Delta Pi Executive Office!!

Unfortunately, our ADPi sisters didn't win. However, one of our Panhellenic sisters was 1st runner up. (I'm not sure whether or not the winner is Greek.) See below:
