Sorority Women at the Rio Olympics
 

There are thirteen Greek women representing the USA at the 2016 Olympics.
Seven are Kappas, three are Tri Deltas, two are Chi Omegas and one is a Theta. Six of the women are from Stanford.

Very cool! What are the events?

There's also a Pi Phi. I've added a few since the list was first published. The women's gymnastics coach is a Delta Phi Epsilon. The list is at http://wp.me/p20I1i-2Dv and it is updated as soon as I discover other GLO members who are competing.

The women's gymnastics head coach is from the Phi Sigma chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon!! We are so excited for her!

Add Hoda Kotb, DDD/VA Tech as she is there anchoring the Today Show!

(I've worked 4 Olympics, but declined an offer this time.)

Carrie Moore (a wrestling trainer for the ladies team) is an Alpha Xi Delta.

Nikola Girke (Sailing) is a Gamma Phi Beta and past winner of our Carnation Award. She's back once again representing the Canadian team.

Thank you Fran!

NBC Social Media Manager, Caroline Engels,is a Phi Mu. Debbie Phelps,Phi Mu,is Michael Phelps mother.

Thanks! I've added Caroline and several others as I find out about them. It's wonderful to know that Michael Phelp's mom is a Phi Mu and NPC woman!

I'm not sure which would surprise me more: that Michael Phelps is a Phi Mu or that he's a woman....

My apologies for forgetting to put the word "mom" in my reply. I think it's great that Michael Phelp's mom is a Phi Mu and NPC woman. I firmly believe that the power of sorority/fraternity women is incredible.

And I still rue not taking that typing course in high school!

Not participants or working, but I noticed 2 famous spectators who are Greek.
