Miss America officials acknowledge winner Kira Kazantsev was kicked out of her sorority, reportedly for hazing

Beauty pageants are frequently a source of controversy after the fact, and Miss America is no exception. Barely a week after Miss New York Kira Kazantsev won the crown, pageant officials acknowledged that she had been kicked out of her college sorority last year. Why? They would not discuss the matter, but their statement appeared to confirm a new report that she was involved in hazing pledges.
