Omicron Delta Kappa national leadership honorary was recognized by the national organization during March after having been a colony at the University for little more than a year. This now distinguishes ODK as the only national men ' s leadership honorary on campus. Omicron Delta Kappa exists at the University of Florida to recognize men who have attained a high standard of leadership in all areas of collegiate life. ODK realizes that leadership exists in every area of student endeavor, honoring scholarship and achievement in all colleges as well as in campus-wide activities. ODK adopted two major service projects during the year. It tapped its first ODK Squires to honor outstanding freshmen and the chapter instituted a series of ODK Study Commissions to analyze and submit recommendations to remedy major campus problems. Many members of ODK have been placed on University committees as ex-officio members: Campus Planning and Development, Student Organizations and Social Affairs, Alumni Affairs, Dollars for Scholars Advisory Board, the Committee on Student Rights, President ' s Advisory Committee and the Advisory Board to the Vice-President of Student Affairs. Although the UF chapter of ODK only received its charter this year, it is sure to have many years of recognition and service ahead. President Fred Breeze packs his bags to attend the National Convention. Advisor Dean Frank Adams presents the sign of ODK — the acorn. The first ODK ring for the University of Florida campus.
