Members of the greek community will strut their stuff for a good cause today. Beta Theta Phi is hosting its third annual Ms. Greek pageant at 7 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom, in what organizers expect to be one of the largest philanthropy events led by a fraternity in recent years.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Tickets are $5.
The pageant will feature members from eight sororities. They will vie for the coveted title in rehearsed talent acts, a question-and-answer session and a display of formal wear. Each contestant will also have a sorority sister boost her candidacy for the title with a speech on why the contestant deserves to be Ms. Greek.
Last year Beta Theta Phi raised more than $4,300 for MADD.
“We expect to raise even more money than in the past and hope that the event will remind everyone of the dangers of driving under the influence of intoxicants,” Beta Theta Pi President Kyle Plitt said in a press release.
