UF Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa

Omicron Delta Kappa was founded December 3, 1914 at Washington and Lee
University, in Lexington, Virginia, by 15 student and faculty leaders.
The founders formulated the idea that leadership of exceptional
quality and versatility in college should be recognized, that
representatives in all phases of college life should cooperate in
worthwhile endeavors, and that outstanding students, faculty, and
administrators should meet on a basis of mutual interest,
understanding and helpfulness. ODK was the first college honor society
of a national scope to give recognition and honor for meritorious
leadership and service in extracurricular activities and to encourage
development of general campus citizenship. The Omicron Delta Kappa
"mark of distinction" is well recognized by leaders in both the
academic and business worlds.
So great was its success at Washington and Lee University, and such
was the clamor for similar chapters in other schools, that Omicron
Delta Kappa has now come to its present position of esteem. In 1930
Omicron Delta Kappa became a member of the Association of College
Honor Societies, a new organization that attempted to create
colloboration and standardization between these societies. Today 68
honor societies are part of ACHS. ODK ranks 12th largest among these
societies, and is the only society that focuses exclusively both
leadership and scholarship.
Today Omicron Delta Kappa has reached a high level of national
prominence, with nearly 300 member circles and over 260,000 initiated.
