On O∆K's 100th birthday, Elon's circle of the national leadership honor society annouced the names of its 71 future inductees. Student leaders said they are proud to welcome the new inductees and acknowledge their contributions to Elon University.
One hundred years ago, on Dec. 3, 1914, Omicron Delta Kappa was founded by 15 students and faculty members at Washington and Lee University.
O∆K is the National Leadership Honor Society and its members distinguish themselves with high academic achievement and exemplary leadership across five phases of campus life, including athletics, the arts, communication, scholarship and community service.
An invitation to apply is extended each year to the top 33 percent of the junior and senior classes. Based on the criteria of diverse leadership experiences across three areas of campus life, demonstrated growth in at least one of these areas and overall dedication to their community and leadership responsibilities, the honor society chose 71 people to be inducted into its circle.
The spring initiation ceremony will be held Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 12:30 in Holt Chapel. The following students have been nominated:
