Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) is an honor society that brings together the most representative students in all phases of collegiate life which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interests.  The society upholds qualities of exemplary character, responsible leadership and service in campus or community life, superior scholarship, genuine fellowship, and consecration to democratic ideals.  

ODK members demonstrate leadership in at least one of five areas:

• Scholarship

• Athletics

• Campus or community service, social and religious activities, and campus government

• Journalism, speech, and the mass media

• Creative and performing arts 

Membership is annually awarded to undergraduate junior and senior students; to graduate students; to faculty, staff, administration and alumni; and to persons qualifying for membership "honoris causa."
