Melinda Garrett was crowned on Oct. 25, as Senior Miss Soybean. She is a student at UTM and represented Alpha Delta Pi.

Senior Miss Soybean is a preliminary for the Miss Strawberry beauty pageant in Humboldt, TN. Both pageants judge contestants on beauty only and no talent. First runner up was Lauren Taylor, second runner up was Lacey Kay Clement, and third runner up was Alexis "Jordan" Cole.

The pageant was hosted by Pi Sigma Epsilon and was a fundraiser for community service projects and national conventions. During intermission drawings were held for the donated items that were provided. Pi Sigma Epsilon would like to thank Lana's Boutique, Tanning World, Movies To Go, The Movie Theatre, the UTM athletic department, and the Sun Shop for their donations to the event.
