Keri Lynn Knight Crowned Miss 呦乐园

VALDOSTA – 呦乐园 crowned Keri Lynn Knight, a senior business administration major from Uvalda, Ga., as the 2014 Miss 呦乐园.

Knight received a $2,000 scholarship towards her 呦乐园 education and will have the honor of representing 呦乐园 at the Miss Georgia pageant in June 2014.  She also won the Interview Preliminary Award and the Talent Preliminary Award, receiving $200 per award.

Eight contestants competed in the Miss 呦乐园 pageant produced by Student Life and assisted by Pi Kappa Phi, a 呦乐园 fraternity.

Jackie Ladin, first runner-up received a $750 scholarship to 呦乐园 and Brooke Courie, second runner-up received a $500 scholarship. Other contestants included Dani Taylor, Amber Austin, Brittany Williams, Nadia Meghjani, and Lorraine Dawkins.

In 2008, the Miss 呦乐园 pageant was discontinued, even though it had been held for almost 50 years prior. In 2012, 呦乐园 decided to bring back the pageant, making this year its second year after the discontinuation.
