MISS KAPPA ALPHA PSI

SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT

MISSION STATEMENT

The Miss Kappa Alpha Psi Scholarship Pageant was created in 2004 by the Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated in honor of the female students on the campus of ElizabethCityStateUniversity.

The Miss Kappa Alpha Psi Scholarship Pageant will provide scholarships to the contestants and additional resources to help out with their undergraduate continuance. Miss Kappa Alpha Psi is hosted to spotlight women who have achieved excellence in academics, leadership, campus and community involvement and overall character presentation. The Pageant it self gives the contestants an opportunity to portray their talent, beauty, character, intellect and much more.

The Miss Kappa Alpha Psi Scholarship Pageant established the initiative to encourage and support the contestants in completing their college education and earning a graduate degree. In addition to increasing access to higher education for these women, Miss Kappa Alpha Psi also provides leadership training. Through participation in comprehensive leadership programs, the contestants are able to enhance their academic and leadership skills, which will prepare them to assume important roles in their professions within their communities.

The Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated goal is treat every contestant as more than a number or an entry. We would treat everyone involved with the pageant with respect and kindness. Without you, there would be no pageant! It takes a lot of time prepare for a pageant and without supportive family, friends, and sponsors; it would be impossible to put together the package necessary to compete. On your quest for the crown, we want every aspect of your experience with this pageant to be a positive one from completing the application to answering questions you may have before and after the pageant to being right there with the ones who accomplish winning the titles and promoting them in the community and surrounding area. Therefore, your participation in this pageant is an honor in it self. With that in mind, we encourage all contestants to make this a time of fun and enjoyment and not just a competition.

Lastly, we hope that this will be a delightful experience for the young ladies, and we encourage all contestants to do their best. All contestants are viewed with high esteem and are expected to represent tasteful and with respectable qualities through all events. Whether you win the pageant or place, you have proven your inner beauty and that you are a winner by your own actions, not by someone else’s opinion. One of the favorite quotes states that “Beauty captures your attention, but Personality captures your heart”.
