Arlie Honeycutt, Miss North Carolina 2012, is the daughter of Scott and Beth Honeycutt of Garner. A Vocal Performance major at East Carolina University, Arlie was honored to receive the Miss North Carolina Overall Talent award as well as a Talent Preliminary award. Arlie has sung at both the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek and Carnegie Hall, and has performed the National Anthem for the Carolina Mudcats, the ECU Pirates, and the Charlotte Bobcats. In addition to singing with the East Carolina Chamber Singers, Arlie is also a member of the female a capella group the Magnolia Belles, and placed in the top four in the annual ECU Stars competition in both 2010 and 2011. Arlie served as the secretary of the ECU Student chapter of the National Teachers of Singing organization in its inaugural semester, and represented the school at the 2012 State NATS competition where she placed second in her division. She has performed in numerous theatrical productions, favorite roles including Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Luisa in The Fantasticks. When not on stage, Arlie loves to read and write. A graduate of William G. Enloe High School, Arlie was the first student to ever receive Wake County Phi Beta Kappa Writing awards two years in row. She has made the East Carolina University Deans List every semester, and received a 2011 ECU Excels award. She is a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi National Honors Societies. Arlie also enjoys serving her school as an East Carolina University Ambassador and promoting volunteerism through her platform, the Domino Effect. She partnered with critically acclaimed theatre company The Towne Players to create the Henry Sanchez Memorial Scholarship Fund in her hometown, raising over $12,000 to send local children to their summer theatre camp since 2007. Arlie also served as the Fundraising and Marketing chair for the ECU Ambassadors Special Populations Prom in 2011 and 2012, helping to provide a glamorous and exciting evening of fun for individuals who may not have had an opportunity to attend school dances due to mental or physical handicaps. Arlie represented Kinston-Lenoir County as a local titleholder, and is now thrilled to serve as the 75th Miss North Carolina! She looks forward to representing our state at the 92nd Miss America Pageant this January!

“We were more than just pleased with Arlie’s participation in our event.  She really made it very special for a roomful of young children.  I had expected the little girls to be in awe and want to be a princess, too, but so many of the little boys wanted to talk to her and have their pictures taken with her, too!  She gave more than 50 young military children a memory that I’m sure they’ll be talking about for quite a while!”    -Beverly Jackson, Princess and Pirate Event

“Susan I just wanted to thank you for helping us out this year with Charlotte’s Best Dance Crew! The show was pretty much sold out and Arlie did an AMAZING job! I didn’t have to worry about one thing with her. She is a natural at being Miss North Carolina!  We are planning on some themes for next year and we would love to work with the Miss North Carolina Organization again! Thank you again for making this process very easy and simple, talk to you soon!”  Priya Patel, The Inspiration
