Sigma Kappa has been chosen as the Greek Organization of the month for January and February! Sigma Kappa was nominated for having the highest GPA in the Panhellenic Council for the past semester, enacting a risk management policy that follows the chapter’s bylaws and Truman’s policy, as well as, sponsoring sober social events with other Greek organizations. We are very excited to award Sigma Kappa with this recognition and thank them for all of their hard work!

• Olivia Lanser is the Prevention and Wellness intern. Olivia is a Junior Biology, Pre-Med student with the goal of becoming a radiation oncologist. Olivia is a member of Delta Zeta and currently serves as her chapter’s President. Olivia joined Greek Life her freshman year because she did not know many people at Truman and felt that it was a great way to get to know new people. She also wanted to get involved in something that was greater than herself and she believes it was the best decision she has made. For fun, Olivia likes to play volleyball and bake. With her position on the Greek Life Team, Olivia wants to promote healthy activity within Greek Life and bring enthusiasm to the topics that we all hear about so much about. While the topics discussed seem repetitive, they are very important for the wellness of our organizations and that is what Olivia is hoping to show members of Greek Life.

In her free time, Sam enjoys spending time with her friends and family. Sam is excited for her position on the Greek Life Team and looks forward to promoting Greek Life in a positive way, as well as, awarding the Greek community for their achievements.
