The programming we see in OΔK circles around the country is as diverse as the students who make up each circle. We highly recommend that each circle host the following types of events and programs that are outlined below.
In addition, the OΔK Speakers’ Bureau connects circles with members who are career professionals in the region. Circles are encouraged to invite these leaders from their own circle and other circles to attend an event and engage in discussions about leadership. Click here to learn more about the Speakers’ Bureau.
