Men compete to be Alpha Gamma Delta's "Lady"

By Heather Buckner

Alpha Gamma Delta hosted their annual He’s a Lady pageant February 21 at 7 p.m. in LeBaron Hall.

Each spring every Greek organization on campus enters one lucky male into the pageant to compete for the crown through a cross-dressing pageant in which the men wear a costume, showcase a talent and answer questions.

After several audio problems, the “ladies” were asked to fill the prolonged silence with their favorite quotes, a few of which came from Drake and 2 Chainz.

Once the audio problems were somewhat solved the ladies moved on to their talents. Two twirled ribbons, one played ukulele and one sang an acoustic version of Lil Jon’s “Get Low.”

After the talent portion, questions ranged from asking what makeup item the contestant couldn’t live without to what the hardest part of college is. 

“This,” retorted Lambda Chi Alpha’s “lady” Jon Mackenzie. “I mean I’m cross-dressing in front of half the school.”

At the end of the night, Alpha Kappa Lambda’s James Kinney won Miss Congeniality and Alpha Delta Pi’s Kevin Britt took home the crown.

All proceeds from the pageant support the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, which in turn supports diabetes research and prevention.
