Eastern Illinois Gets Ready For Miss Eastern Illinois Pageant
In the 1970's, our chapter was involved in this philanthropy to get involved in
the surrounding community. After a long absence, our chapter has recently
restarted this tradition. With the help of our "BB", James Price, Brothers Ryan
Coffey and Dave Foreman are working diligently to have another successful
turnout. Local businesses have donated funds along with a portion of the money
coming from our house, and we hope to make this pageant the biggest one in
Central Illinois. The winner of this February pageant will receive a chance to
compete for Miss Illinois. A few years ago, one of our local contestants,
Charlotte Martin, won our pageant and took second runner up to Miss Illinois. To
have someone become Miss Illinois from our pageant would definitely be an honor
for our house.
