Umicron Delta Kappa Omicron Delta Kappa is a national honorary or- ganization for men who have shown outstanding serv- ice to the St. Lawrence University campus and vvho have, at the same time, maintained a good scholastic record. Tapping for this organization occurs once a year and is held on the triangle in front of Richardson Hall immediately following the Moving-Up Day cere- mony, In order to achieve membership in ODK a man must have held one major office on campus and must have contributed in several additional ways to the uni- versity. ODK brings together representative men from all phases of campus life and thus creates an organiza- tion that can help to mold the sentiment of the insti- tution on questions of local and intercollegiate in- terest. lt also incorporates the ideas of members of the faculty and student body on a basis of mutual in- terest and understanding. The members of ODK are expected to maintain a high degree of leadership and responsibility to the students and administration and to encourage and set a good example for those who follow them.
