Natalie Simmons of Zeta Tau Alpha said she was not expecting to win this year's 'Miss Greek' title on Tuesday night. Tuesday, October 28 in the Watkins Auditorium was a night filled with glamour and comedy as the brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho sponsored its annual Miss Greek pageant at 7:00 p.m. AGRs present the pageant each year to raise funds for its philanthropy Agriculture in the Classroom.

The competing contestants this year proved their worth of the crown in three main pageant categories. Casual wear proved to be a fun and relaxed category as the women displayed their favorite informal attire, while the emcees announced their hobbies and involvement on campus.

Following casual wear was probably the most entertaining segment of the pageant--theme wear, featuring bright pink sequined dresses, flashy purple outfits, and silver cones. Each contestant portrayed a famous female singer, varying from country singers Shania Twain and Dolly Parton to pop stars Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears to actors Judy Garland and Olivia Newton John.

A special Agriculture in the Classroom program was presented during the competition to show what the money was funding and to explain exactly how the money was spent with the Ag in the Classroom program.

While Natalie Simmons was crowned Miss Greek, first runner-up was Chi Omega Jessica Rhinehart. Second runner-up was Mallory Morris of Alpha Omicron Pi.

The night's entertainment between segments included singing and door prize drawings.

In a brief interview with the new Miss Greek, Natalie Simmons revealed, “The most fun part of the competition for me was dressing up like Madonna and the excitement of winning.” Natalie also expressed her nervousness because of “the many supporters I didn’t want to disappoint.”

She said, “Now that I am Miss Greek I want to uphold the Greek system by supporting its organizations on campus.”
