It continued to expand through the years, and on May 4. 1976, the Madison College Leadership Society officially became the 147th Circle in ODK. The purpose of ODK is threefold: First, to recognize those who have attained a high standard of excellence in collegiate activities and to inspire others to strive for conspicuous attainment 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 collegiate interest. Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body oj the institution on a basis of mutual interest and understanding. Omicron Delta Kappa places emphasis upon development of the whole person, both as a present member of his college community and as a prospective contributor to a better society. 206 Accounting Honor Society.
