Queen Pageant
Every year, the MSU Rodeo Club hosts a rodeo queen pageant and the winner of this pageant holds an IPRA queen title of Miss Michigan State Rodeo Queen. Women involved in the Rodeo Club are able to compete in the pageant. The winning queen has the ability to travel the United States to other IPRA rodeos to represent the MSU Rodeo Club. The title is held for 1 year and each winning queen can only win once. Once the current queen has won, she cannot run again. Throughout the competition, the girls will be asked to do an interview, speech, formal and casual modeling, horsemanship, and a written exam. Queen contestants are expected to have their hair and make-up done at all times and are required to wear western attire. For more information, please e-mail us at rodeo@msu.edu. Other contact information can be found under the “Contact Us” tab.
