New Members Elected into Omicron Kappa Delta National Leadership Honor Society Established in 1917 at Davidson, Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society, was founded December 3, 1914 at Washington & Lee University. 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.
