University Of Rhode
Island Circle
ODK® - A Society of People Devoted to Excellence
The Omicron Delta Kappa Society is the national leadership honor society
for college students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni that
recognizes and encourages superior scholarship, leadership, and exemplary
character. Membership in ODK® is a mark of the highest distinction
and honor.
The Society recognizes achievement in five areas:
- Scholarship
- Athletics
- Campus/ Community Service, Social/Religious
Activities, and Campus Government
- Journalism, Speech and the Mass Media
- Creative and Performing Arts
Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor
Society, was founded December 3, 1914 at Washington & 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.
The University of Rhode Island Circle of ODK® was colonized in May
2000. Since that time our Circle has recognized over 100 leaders . On
May 3, 2003 our URI Circle began to recognize outstanding Citizen Leaders
and Outstanding Alumni for their contributions to the community and as
contributors for a better society. Another unique feature of our Circle
is our recognition of Outstanding Freshman and Outstanding Sophomore
student leaders. We believe that leadership is an evolving process that
begins at the freshman level. Therefore we recognize outstanding freshman
and sophomore student leaders with a certificate of merit to encourage
these rising stars to continue their service to the URI community and
to the community at large.
