ODK
According to the national Omicron Delta Kappa website, the Omicron Delta Kappa Society is the national leadership honor society for college students, faculty, staff, administrators and alumni that recognizes and encourages superior scholarship, leadership, and exemplary character.
Membership in ODK is a mark of the highest distinction and honor. The Society recognizes achievement in five areas:
- Scholarship
- Athletics
- Campus or Community Service, Social or Religious Activities, and Campus Government
- Journalism, Speech and the Mass Media
- Creative and Performing Arts
Emphasis is placed on the development of the whole person, both as a member of the college community and as a contributor to a better society. The purpose of Omicron Delta Kappa is threefold:
- To recognize those who have exhibited a high standard of leadership and effectiveness in collegiate activities
- To bring together student leaders from all sectors of collegiate life in order to help mold the sentiment of the university for questions of local and collegiate interest
- To bring together members of the faculty and the student body on a basis of mutual interest and understanding.
