History of Omicron Delta Epsilon
Omicron Delta Epsilon, one of the worlds largest academic honor societies, was created in 1963 through the merger of two honor societies, Omicron Delta Gamma and Omicron Chi Epsilon. At the time of their merger both societies had 28 chapters. Omicron Delta Gamma's chapters were primarily in the Midwestern and Pacific states while the chapters of Omicron Chi Epsilon were concentrated at Colleges and Universities along the Eastern Seaboard and in Texas.

Induction into Omicron Delta Epsilon
Each May, the School of Business, Government, and Economics at Seattle Pacific University holds a joint honors program with Beta Gamma Sigma (Business and Accounting) and Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science).  Following a joint welcome, the three local chapters conduct their induction ceremonies in adjacent rooms. The one-time membership fee of $40 accompanies the membership process.  Seniors may purchase the gold ODE honor stole (or medallion if they will be wearing other stoles, such as University Scholars) to wear at Ivy Cutting and Commencement in June.
