• Profile – name
• Address – current home and work addresses
• Contact information – emails and phone numbers. You can change which email and phone you want to be your primary contact for MyODK.
• Demographics – The racial and gender information is only visible to you and OΔK staff. The Academic/Professional and Employment information will be searchable. This is important for the Member Directory.
• Bio – You can upload a current bio. We recommend you use one similar to what you have on your LinkedIn pages. You can also drop in your CV or Resume.
• Opt In and Out – you can sign up for Discord and other communications through MyODK.

The information on the application has been selected by the circle to which you are applying. Since the circle has included those questions in its application, you should consider all items after the Personal Information section to be required. Please submit any information requested by the circle in the subsequent sections to avoid the denial of the application. Please check with your circle leadership if you have any questions about what is required.

The fields with a red asterisk * are required. We recommend the latest Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari browser versions.

Each applicant has an Applicant Dashboard in MyODK. Log in to MyODK and select “Applicant Dashboard” to see the status of your application.

What happens if I am not accepted?

Applicants who are not accepted by the circle will be able to keep their login credentials for one year. This will enable them to apply again if they are invited. After one year, if there is no change in their status, their record will be deleted from MyODK.

How do I join the OΔK Discord Community?

To join the Discord community, you must “Opt-In” for online community access. You will then be prompted to complete the Code of Conduct to join the network, and once completed, you will receive an email with the access link to OΔK’s Discord server.

How do I find other OΔK members in MyODK?

MyODK will have a member directory feature coming in 2025. We are asking members to enable and update their profiles first. Then when we launch the Member Directory part of the portal, the updated information will allow members to more accurately find and network with other members across the Society.
