For the first time in over a decade, the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha will be hosting Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity’s staple program, Miss Black and Gold Scholarship Pageant.

Serving to showcase the intelligence, talent, leadership, and unparalleled beauty of women on the campus of Cornell University, the pageant is an opportunity for women to highlight their poise and self-confidence, while gracing the Cornell community with their intellectual prowess, oratorical skills and captivating beauty.  Scholastic excellence is emphasized and contestants will be rewarded with scholarships in the chapter's efforts to defray collegiate expenses.

The Miss Black and Gold Scholarship Pageant will take place at the Clarion Hotel on April 30.  It will feature numerous performances from ensembles in the multicultural community.  After the winner of the pageant is announced, the venue will become a ball for the attendees to socialize and enjoy themselves. 

Transportation to and from the venue will be available via stretch-SUV limousines.
