Miss America 2025 Abbie Stockard is an Alpha Gamma Delta. She will crown her successor on September 7. Miss America’s Teen 2025, Peyton Bolling, just joined Tri Delta at the University of Arkansas a couple of weeks ago. She will crown her successor on September 6.

MEA CULPA ALERT – I’ve been away for the last week and when I started watching last night, I realized I had made an error with Miss New York, having identified someone else as the winner. And then I could find no info about Cassie Donegan’s affiliation. This morning, through the knowledge of an Alpha Sigma Tau, I became aware of her affiliation. Please accept my sincere apologies for this error. And congratulations, Cassie!
