Omicron Delta Kappa

Omicron Delta Kappa is the National Leadership Honor Society. ODK® (URL: http://www.odk.org/) was founded at Washington and Lee University in 1912. Its headquarters are in Lexington, Kentucky.

ODK® is a highly selective and prestigious honor society.  Consistent with USF St. Petersburg’s recent separate accreditation, we are now taking the next steps in the process of forming a separate circle. Nominations are accepted twice each year, in mid-fall and mid-spring.

Students must rank in the upper 35%, as measured by overall GPA, including transfer credits. They must document leadership in at least one of five areas:

• Scholarship
• Athletics
• Campus or Community Service, Social, Religious Activities and Campus Government
• Journalism, Speech and the Mass Media
• Creative and Performing Art

In addition, candidates must be either juniors, seniors or graduate students.

The members of our circle gain additional leadership experience through chapter activities and community service, and gain prestige that accompanies such an honor. They also develop an appreciation for the intrinsic rewards of service to others.

The Director of the Bishop Center serves as faculty secretary and advisor. Please contact him for further information.
