SIGMA CIRCLE | University of Maryland
RECOGNIZING CAMPUS COMMUNITY
LEADERSHIP
Omicron
Delta Kappa – one of the most prestigious national societies to recognize
leadership – is now accepting applications for the Spring 2017 semester. Sigma
Circle of ODK at College Park began in 1927 and, since then, has initiated over
4000 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, President Wallace Loh,
Coach Brenda Frese, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, and honorary members President
Franklin D. Roosevelt 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.

COMMUNITY SERVICE, SOCIAL, RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AND CAMPUS GOVERNMENT
