Alumni Clubs
Alumni Clubs
The Omicron Delta Kappa Society, Inc., shall encourage, charter and support the development of alumni clubs. These clubs shall assist in keeping members of the Society continually aware of and identified with the ideals, activities and needs of the Society. The clubs will support and encourage the development of intelligent, democratic leadership and personal responsibility in institutions of higher learning. The clubs shall also support the activities and development of Circles in the four-year institutions in their vicinity and shall work to enhance the Omicron Delta Kappa Foundation.
Alumni clubs may be organized in given areas by at least fifteen Omicron Delta Kappa alumni members residing in said areas who may present to the National Vice-President for Extension formal petitions for charters, which shall include a list of petitioning members with collegiate affiliation, date of initiation, business or profession, and a proposed set of by-laws.
The petitioning group shall submit copies of the petition in typewritten, photocopied, mimeographed, or printed form in numbers requested by the ΟΔΚ® National Vice-President for Extension. On the original copy the names of the petitioners shall be signed individually.
Each petitioning group shall pay to The Omicron Delta Kappa Society, Inc.at the time of the submission of its petition an alumni charter fee established each fiscal year by the Board of Directors. The charter fee will be refunded if a charter is not approved by the Board of Directors. The club shall be required to pay one-half of the travel and other expenses of the installing officer.
If after investigation the Board of Directors is satisfied that the club would probably be permanent and worthily promote a program which would preserve and strengthen the standards and influence of Omicron Delta Kappa, a charter will be issued. The petitioning group shall be immediately notified of such favorable action, and the necessary arrangements shall be made with the National Vice President for Extension for the installation. An alumni club shall be known by the locality, city or state wherein it is located.
Every alumni member of Omicron Delta Kappa of whatever Circle, resident in said area, shall be regarded as eligible for membership in that alumni club, and insofar as addresses are known and it is possible, should be notified of such eligibility in The Circle®, which shall publicize the location and the secretary or person to contact for more information.
