JONESBORO – Destiny Quinn of Jonesboro was crowned Miss Arkansas State University 2017 tonight at the conclusion of the 43rd annual pageant presented each year by the Delta Theta chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity.
Quinn is a senior at A-State, majoring in multimedia journalism.
With a stated service platform of "Vote! It’s Not Just Your Right. It’s Your Duty," she presented a tap dance to “Work” during the talent segment of the competition. She was sponsored by the men of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Her parents are Wade Quinn III and Diana Davis.
