Rhodes students recently were inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), the national honor society for leadership and service in extracurricular activities. ODK faculty inductee was Prof. John Bass and alumni inductee was Martha Shepard ’66. Bass is director of the Mike Curb Institute for Music at Rhodes, and Shepard recently retired as editor of Rhodes magazine after serving the college for 28 years.
The society was founded at Washington and Lee in 1914. The Rhodes chapter, known as the Phi Circle, was established in 1927, making ODK the oldest honor society on campus.
Current leadership of the Phi Circle is provided by Nick Jensen ’13, president; Adiha Khan ’13, vice president; Jasmine Gilstrap ’13, secretary; and Robbie Cook ’13, elections chair. Prof. Patrick Gray is faculty secretary and John Rone is circle advisor.
