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.

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.

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

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!
