| Transcript | Omicron Delta Kappa 0t>IC took* far leaders Founded in 1914 by 15 student and faculty leaders, Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) grew to 258 circles on college and university campuses nationwide. ODK, The National Leadership Honor Society recognized and encouraged superior scholarship, leadership and exemplary character. ODK was the first nationwide college honor society set up particularly to recognize and honor those who display meritorious leadership and service in extracurricular activities. Juniors, seniors, graduate students, faculty, staff, administration, and alumni were welcome to join the honor society. However, they had to rank in the upper 35 percent in scholarship, of and you are required to show leadership in athletics, community service, journalism, speech, mass media, and/or creative, and performing arts. ODK helped its members develop as both members of the college community and contributors to a better society. Because of the organizations high standards, membership in ODK was a mark of highest honor. It gave members the opportunity to make friends and connections with over 20,000 people held in high esteem by those on campus, recognition by leaders nationwide, and the chance to continue contributing to UH as an ODK alumni. "I joined Omicron Delta Kappa so I could meet new people who are also involved in leadership organizations like myself. I feel that being a member of ODK has helped me make a lot of friends and many useful contacts as well. And at the same time I got the opportunity to further my knowledge and sharpen up my leadership skills," said Bill Kelly, the organizations president. -Sadaf F.
