Omicron Delta Kappa has renewed its agreement with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to publish a member directory in early 2020. O∆K produced a directory in conjunction with the Centennial Celebration in 2014. Members purchased more than 3,500 copies at that time.
This engagement campaign is a part of our ongoing efforts to update, maintain, and better utilize our data so we can continue to best serve our membership. The proceeds from the sale of the directories are using to fund Omicron Delta Kappa’s primary programs including leadership development initiatives, conferences, scholarships, career resources, and circle support activities.
A series of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the directory project are below. To update your information immediately, please call (866) 613-8023 to update your data or to request that it not be included in the directory.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information. The caller said they were working on a directory for Omicron Delta Kappa. Is this a legitimate project, or is it a scam?
We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce a member directory. PCI is a company located in Dallas and Virginia Beach that publishes directories for educational institutions, honor societies, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation. This project allows Omicron Delta Kappa to receive important updates to our database so we may learn more about our members and how we can better serve our current and future initiates. If you received an email from PCI, the phone number listed in the email is customized and may be slightly different than the number listed above.
