Omicron Delta Kappa Theta Circle at The University of Akron was founded on April 29, 1922, making it the eighth oldest chapter in the country and the only one to be chartered in 1922.
Since its founding 90 years ago, the organization has carefully extended membership only to those who truly exhibit leadership and achievement in:
First, to recognize those who have attained a high standard of efficiency in collegiate activities and to inspire others to strive for conspicuous attainments along similar lines;
Second, to bring together the most representative students in all phases of collegiate life and thus to create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate interest;
Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body of the institution, as well as other Omicron Delta Kappa members, on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness.
