Wish I did! This was all that was included on Facebook. Maybe we could all do a little research and figure this out.. :)

Laura Bennett is a Chi Omega from our Iota Alpha/Southern Methodist University chapter.

Savola is a KKG according to her facebook.
Bennett is a Chi Omega based on an article in the Eleusis.
Muffy Davis is a Tri Delta.
Mariya Koroleva is also a Tri Delta.
Johnston and Dries are also supposedly Tri Deltas, but I can't find hard facts on that aside from some chapters websites and a thread on GC.
Kessy is a KKG based on her website.
Tatyana McFadden is a Phi Sigma Sigma according to Wikipedia.

Lots of Kappas and Tri Deltas!

I swear half those women go to Stanford.

I know, right?

I have always loved diving, so I'm even more excited to cheer on a Duke Panhellenic sister!

Suzanne Stettinius - Alpha Xi Delta - Bethany College - Modern Pentathlon

Which probably explains why Stanford has won the Director's Cup 18 times!

Teri McKeever is the coach of the U. S. Olympic women's swim team. She was an All American swimmer at the University of Southern California where she earned her B. S. degree. Her late father, Mike McKeever, was an All American football star at USC. Mike McKeever was a Kappa Alpha at USC and her aunt a Tri Delta.

Teri later earned an advanced degree and has gone on to be a highly successful women's swim coach at the University of California at Berkeley.

Tatyana McFadden went to U of Illinois.
Mel Seidemann is claimed by Stanford's KKG chapter on their facebook.
Taylor Ritzel went to Yale.
Elle Logan goes to Stanford.
Buehler went to Stanford. There is another Rachel Buehler who is the same age who was a Theta at Baylor. Still hunting for the right one though.

Great thread! Thank you. I love the Olympics but will enjoy it even more armed with this info.

During the parade of nations, a girl from Andorra threw up the xi hand sign. I don't know if anyone else caught this, but I did and a few of the Alpha Xi's I know did. It was definitely unmistakable... does anyone know if this girl is an Alpha Xi?

Andorra only has 2 female Olympians, and one of them is only 15. That leaves Monica Ramirez Abella who is an 18 year old swimmer. Maybe she attends school in the US and is an Alpha Xi Delta?

Alpha Xi Delta Suzanne Stettinius, Bethany '07, is competing during the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Modern Pentathlon!

Does anybody know if any of the Olympians are Fraternity men or women?

Rachel Buehler is a Kappa, as is Elle Logan.

Robin Farina-- Cycling is a Kappa Delta!

DaffyKD

I told this to my mom to tell my Pop, a Bethany alum..I'm sure he'll be super happy!

Abby Johnston won the silver for synchronized diving!

Erin Cafaro, a rower, is a Stanford Pi Beta Phi. She and Taylor Ritzel, a Yale Pi Phi, are in the same boat.

Andrea Kremer of NBC's broadcast team is a Phi Sigma Sigma.

Congratulations to KKG Kristin Armstrong on her GOLD medal!

A correction
 

Erin is a California Beta Pi Phi from UC Berkeley. I apologize for this error.

Mary Beth Dunnichay, an American platform diver, is an Alpha Phi from our Purdue University chapter.

Alex Flanagan is a reporter for diving at the 2012 Olympic Games and she is a Gamma Phi Beta from Univ of Arizona.

A friend in KC told me that Shannon Vreeland, a member of the gold-medal-winning U.S.A. 4x200 freestyle swimming team, is a sister to a Gamma Phi Beta (Kansas State) and the daughter of a Gamma Phi Beta (Missouri State).

She's an Alpha Gamma Delta

[While not an Olympian, Karen Crouse is a sport reporter for The New York Times and she has been covering the Olympics. Crouse is also an AGD from Delta Alpha]

Yeap! Jennifer Kessy was definitely at Delta Tau

Teri McKeever's late father was a Kappa Alpha at SC. Her late uncle, Marlin, was also a Kappa Alpha. Her aunt was a Delta Delta Delta. I think her mother was a Kappa Kappa Gamma.
