Spring Reminders
💼 New Officer Update/Changes
Many circles elect new officers in the spring. New officers MUST complete the Circle Officer Agreement and complete MyODK training to receive access to the MyODK Circle Executive Dashboard. Make sure your transition protocols include this step. If you have any student officers who are serving a second term in the same officer role, email [email protected], and we will extend their Circle Executive Dashboard access.
📅 Circle Annual Reports
The OΔK Circle Annual Report is required and must be submitted before June 30, 2026. The Circle Annual Report now requires the submission of Circle Bylaws. If you do not have bylaws, please use the OΔK Circle Bylaws template to create them this spring
☑️ 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. If any new members did not attend an initiation, reach out to your circle contact to discuss the return/refund process.
💵 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.
🖥️ 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.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MARCH 31
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.
