Omicron Delta Kappa

Lexington County · dedicated 2017 · 224 McLaughlin St.

Fifteen students and faculty members at nearby Washington and Lee University founded Omicron Delta Kappa, a national leadership honor society, on 3 Dec. 1914. The society brought together students who had attained prominence in diverse facets of campus life, encouraged collaboration among students, staff, faculty, and alumni, and promoted ideals of scholarship, service, integrity, character, and fellowship. Circles (chapters) were later established on more than 400 college campuses in the United States. In 2010, Omicron Delta Kappa relocated its national headquarters from Lexington, Kentucky, to this historic railroad station.
