About ODK
Established in 1933 at the University of Missouri, Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) is a prestigious secret leadership honor society that acknowledges student excellence across the Five Pillars of Campus Life: Academics/ Research, Athletics, Service to Campus and Community, Communications, and Creative/Performing Arts. Each year, a select group of students are chosen to join this secret society, and their selection is revealed during the University of Missouri's annual "Tap Day," a tradition dating back to 1917.
Additionally, ODK manages the Distinguished 14 program, which celebrates outstanding freshmen students and provides them with leadership training and mentorship from our upperclassmen.
