Miss Black and Gold 2025-2026

Support Elise Olivia Sampson on Her Pageant Journey! 

It’s pageant season, and I am excited to announce that I am vying to be the next Miss Black and Gold for the Alpha Rho Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated—my HOMETEAM! This pageant represents more than just a competition; it is an opportunity for me to expand my passion for community engagement, social justice, and youth mentorship beyond Spelman College and into the wider Morehouse community and beyond.

As Miss Black and Gold, I would not only serve as a representative but also as a partner in advancing Alpha Phi Alpha's mission of service to all. To make this vision a reality, I need the support of my village now more than ever. My goal is to raise $2,500 to cover essential pageant costs, including fees, wardrobe, and campaign initiatives that will allow me to fully showcase my dedication to this legacy.

As Alpha Rho powerfully states, "Heavy is the head that wears the crown." With your generosity, I can step into this moment with confidence, intentionality, and a strong belief that I am walking in my purpose. Thank you for believing in me—I can’t wait to make you all proud!
