We offer a series of awards that honor circles, both for their contributions to their campuses and for their dedication to supporting the national organization. At the individual level, we offer awards that honor students, circle advisors, dedicated members, and friends of OΔK.

Nominations for the service awards will opened again on January 3, 2023.

2022 Award Recipients

The finale of the 2022 National Leadership Conference was the National Awards Program. This is the first time we have presented these awards in person since 2018! The program was recorded and available on the Society’s YouTube channel. Read about the 2022 award recipients here.
