Alpha Phi will be holding their annual Mr. Ivy pageant on Friday, March 18.
Mr. Ivy is a male beauty pageant where men from all of the fraternities on Shippensburg's campus will be competing in the categories of swimwear, talent, formal and interview questions for a chance to win the title of Mr. Ivy 2016.
The proceeds from the pageant will go towards Alpha Phi's philanthropy, the Alpha Phi Foundation. The foundation supports women's cardiac care and prevention. Alpha Phi puts on this pageant as a fun way to support their philanthropy that is close to each one of their hearts. Schools in other chapters put on similar events to support the Foundation - from Mr. Ivy to King of Hearts.
The men competing for the title are: Artie Millner, Tau Kappa Epsilon; Chris Bishop, Phi Sigma Kappa; Colin Schmitz, Kappa Delta Phi; Garrett Graybill, Phi Sigma Kappa; Greg Fry, Lambda Chi Alpha; Jay Jackson, Theta Xi; Jimmy, Pi Lambda Phi; Kenny Miles, Tau Kappa Epsilon; Nik Romage, Phi Delta Theta; Raul Gonzalez, Kappa Sigma; Travis Dasher, Lambda Chi Alpha.
A new feature this year is a silent auction. Different Greek lettered shirts are being donated by Dean Bob to be auctioned off, and there will also be different raffle baskets.
The pageant will be on Friday, March 18 in the CUB MPR. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the pageant begins at 4 p.m. Tickets are $5.
