Omicron Delta Kappa was founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. Its founders stated that leadership of exceptional quality and versatility in university life should be recognized; that representatives of all phases of college life should cooperate in worthwhile endeavors; and that outstanding students and faculty members should meet on a basis of common interest, understanding and helpfulness. The Georgia College Circle was chartered in 2001.
