Elbow, elbow wrist, wrist. Smile all throughout. That's what a beauty pageant is all about.
Or is it?
The brothers of the Phi Iota Alpha fraternity are hosting the sixth annual Miss Phi Iota Scholarship Pageant.
"The Miss Phi Iota Scholarship pageant was designed to bring women at Baylor closer to achieving their goal of a college degree," said David Fisher, member of Phi Iota Alpha and co-pageant coordinator.
The 12 contestants will compete in five different categories: ad sales, achievements and goals (based on a resume and biography they sent in), interview with the judges, question-and-answer session and evening gown.
Fisher said scholarship money is funded strictly through advertisement sales.
"Every year we give more money in scholarships and prizes than we did the previous year," Fisher said.
"This year the prizes and money will prove to be exceptionally better than the past years. Last year we gave around $3,700 and this year we will be giving around $5,200 in scholarship money."
Each year the pageant has a theme. This year's theme is the diversity of the woman. Fisher stressed the diversity among the contestants.
