Maggie’s personal platform, “Giving is a Gift,” aims to encourage others to realize the gifts they have been given and to respond by giving freely of their resources – both time and money. She believes that the rewards of giving to others are immeasurable. “When we share with others, we show acts of kindness that have the potential to tremendously impact not only communities at large, but the individual lives around us.” While at the University of Arkansas, Maggie was an active member of Chi Omega Fraternity and served as their Make-A-Wish Chair. In this role, she helped the fraternity raise over $73,000 for the Make-A-Wish organization.

She is a 2013 Cum Laude Graduate of Valley View High School. She has one sister, Meredith. She also has a brother, Murray, Jr., and sister in law, Sarah.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
