Officer Updates – February 2026

Membership Application Reminders

☑️ Reject Applicants

Circle officers must reject any remaining applicants after the certificate order is submitted. (This includes anyone who was accepted but never paid their fees.) This allows individuals to apply again if they wish and clears the application management dashboard for the next process. OΔK no longer conducts mass rejection of outstanding applicants. Applicants cannot be moved from one initiation to another; they must be rejected and reapply.

📅 Remember Midnight Deadline

When creating the application deadlines, remember the closing deadline is at 00:00:01 on the day you select. This means the application closes at 12:00:001 a.m. and will not be available that day. Make sure to provide the correct date to your applicants.

EXAMPLE:

      • Application closes on 03/01/2026
      • Application deadline given to applicants: 11:59 p.m. Eastern 02/28/2026

📖 Special Membership Application

The Special Membership Application should be used for honorary and surprise initiations. We recommend that you email your circle contact before completing the Special Application to ensure the membership requirements are met.

💵 Local Dues Payment

When OΔK collects local dues as part of the national payment, the circle will be paid 30 days after the ceremony. This is to ensure that no refunds or other corrections are made to the certificate order or local dues payments.

👩🏽‍💼Officer Update/Changes

Officers who are changing roles but have already completed the Circle Officer Agreement and MyODK training should NOT complete a new Circle Officer Agreement. Email [email protected] so OΔK staff can make the updates to the system.

New officers MUST complete the Circle Officer Agreement and complete MyODK training.

🖥️ Webinar Recordings and Slide Decks

Circle Officer Webinars are complete for the spring. The recordings and slide decks are available on the Officer Training web page.

Annual and Legacy Membership Program

We receive many inquiries about the new Annual and Legacy membership program. Officers should direct members with questions about the program to the Membership Status web page or to [email protected]. Renata Stankowska, Assistant Director for Membership Services, will respond to them.


Encourage your members to enter the Spirit Wear Contest. Whether you’re on campus, at work, volunteering, or representing O∆K in your everyday life, we want to see how you wear your O∆K spirit wear. From hoodies and tees to hats and other branded gear, snap a photo that captures what O∆K pride means to you.

Show off your O∆K pride for a chance to win up to $220 in prizes!


Questions? We’re here to help. General inquiries: [email protected] | MyODK support: [email protected]
