UCO Student Selected as First Oklahoman for Greek Leadership Advisory Board
March 9, 2026
Isabel Tinsley, a junior actuarial science major at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been selected to serve on the 2027 Student Advisory Board for the Southeastern Greek Leadership Association (SGLA), becoming the first representative from Oklahoma to hold the position.
Tinsley was selected through a competitive application and interview process at the SGLA Annual Conference in Atlanta, where eight UCO fraternity and sorority student leaders represented the university. The conference brings together governing councils and campus leaders from across the Southeastern United States to collaborate on strengthening fraternity and sorority life through education, shared leadership and best practices.
A member of Alpha Gamma Delta and president of UCO’s Panhellenic Council, Tinsley is also involved in the President’s Leadership Council, Pom team, finance club and pre-law society. In her new role, she will work alongside higher education professionals to help plan and facilitate the 2027 SGLA Annual Conference, support outreach to more than 30 institutions and serve as a student facilitator during the event.
“I am excited and honored to be representing UCO on such a prestigious board and to serve alongside seven amazing representatives. I applied to this position because I wanted the opportunity to serve in leadership on a more national level, saw an area Oklahoma was not being represented and wanted to give our state a voice,” Tinsley said.
“I am honored to be the first Oklahoma representative on this board! I am looking forward to being back in Atlanta working with the team to continue growing Southeastern Greek life.”
Tinsley’s selection highlights the strength of UCO’s fraternity and sorority leadership and its continued presence at both the campus and regional levels. Through opportunities like SGLA, student leaders gain valuable experience that enhances their ability to lead organizations, represent their peers and contribute meaningfully to the broader sorority and fraternity life community.
UCO will host Greek Preview Day from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday, April 10, to give students interested in joining a fraternity or sorority a firsthand look at Greek life at UCO. To register or for more information about Greek Preview Day and fraternity and sorority life at UCO, visit go.uco.edu/greek.
