Omicron Delta Kappa – one of the
most prestigious national societies to recognize leadership – is now accepting
applications for the Fall 2014 semester.
Sigma Circle of ODK at College Park began in 1927 and, since then, has
initiated over 3900 students, faculty, and honorary members. ODK tapped Senator Joe Tydings in 1950 when
he was playing varsity lacrosse and US Congressman Steny Hoyer in 1962
when he was SGA Vice President. ODK has
also initiated other proven leaders such as State Senate President Thomas V.
“Mike” Miller, Jane and Jim Henson, and honorary members President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Pulitzer Prize winning author Dr. James MacGregor Burns, and Civil
Rights Activist Julian Bond. The names of all of these outstanding leaders,
along with many others, are engraved on the ODK Fountain on McKeldin Mall.
ODK brings together junior,
senior, and graduate students with our most outstanding faculty members, to
recognize campus leaders and to encourage other students to achieve. We seek accomplished leaders in five areas of
campus community life.
SCHOLARSHIP
CAMPUS OR COMMUNITY SERVICE, SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS
ACTIVITIES AND CAMPUS GOVERNMENT
ATHLETICS
JOURNALISM,
SPEECH AND THE MASS MEDIA
CREATIVE
AND PERFORMING ARTS
Omicron Delta Kappa requires a
minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.38 for juniors (60-89 credits), 3.48
for seniors (90 credits), and 3.87 for graduate students to be considered for
membership.
ODK needs your help to
identify talented and deserving leaders for consideration!
