The O∆K Key is a symbol which was first established in 1915. The O∆K Key is featured prominently in the Society’s initiation ritual, chartering ceremonies, and communications. According to our initiation ceremony, “The shape of the Key represents the circle, which symbolizes the all-around and inclusive nature of our organization.”
As an inclusive Society, we also recognize that the key to promoting and developing effective leadership is to embrace the diversity found amongst the leaders on our campuses and in our communities.
The Omicron Delta Kappa Key Fund has been created to support scholarships and the gift of membership for students from underrepresented and historically marginalized racial and ethnic minority groups. The Key Fund also supports the Society’s diversity, equity, and inclusivity leadership development programming. A total of $50,000 is being sought and more than $11,000 has been secured as of June 30, 2021.
