Miss Georgia just joined Zeta Tau Alpha at UGA as a new member! She rushed as a transfer sophomore, I'm not sure what school she was at freshman year.

I believe she was at Kennesaw State.

I really enjoy viewing the Miss America pageant, but believe they erred this year by allowing people to vote for America's Choice Contestant without the opportunity to watch brief interviews of each contestant on youtube (as available in years past) before deciding which contestant received a vote. Now the winner with the most votes will simply be a state with a large population, a super-good-looking contestant, a popular platform, a big contingent of Miss America fans (looking at the southern states here), or Miss Texas/Miss Louisiana due to Harvey flooding sympathy votes (although TX/LO tend to be in the top without being voted-in). In previous recent years it was fun guessing who would win based on how well they spoke and acted in their individual video. Guess those have gone the way of some recruitment videos?

Are there any photos available to share here this year of contestants from the same NPC sorority?

I haven't seen any yet. Of course I'd love to get a pic with the Chi Omega contestants!

NBH - we can make this happen! Let's get on Facebook and Twitter and start the shout outs. Even if you don't get to take the picture, we can get a photo of the 4 XO's. I encourage everybody with every group, especially if you have multiple contestants, to do the same!

Bumping...and, Miss Louisiana has won both the Lifestyle And Fitness and the Talent preliminaries in this year's contest. FWIW not every double prelim winner goes on to take the crown, but since Miss Louisiana is a Chi Omega and GC's own NutBrnHair is attending this year's contest perhaps the judges will make an exception

Makes my heart warm that Cheerio views the videos before voting for America's choice for Miss America. My daughter was in the pageant in 2015 representing a non-sash state. She was a professional woman, GLO member, college grad (NM scholarship),and Master's degree student. Miss America was by far the hardest thing to achieve that she has pursued. Some southern states have figure out the formula to winning. Just like football. Others still waiting for that first Miss America.
The girls wish that they would go back to introduction of their school, GLO, and professional ambitions. But that is put of their control. The pageant is tonight, Sept 10, and I'll be watching, knowing that only 1 girl can win, but all are winners.
Think of it as recruitment, but only 1 girl gets a bid to her first choice.
Happy viewing everyone....

Good luck, Ladies!
