The fountain on McKeldin Mall is the Omicron Delta Kappa Fountain. At the University of Maryland, ODK Fountain is commonly referred to as "McKeldin Fountain" . The fountain was installed onto McKeldin Mall and dedicated in April 1997. It has been a hallmark of the University's campus, ever since. Inscribed into the granite structure is the names of the over 4,000 members of ODK's Sigma Chapter. The Sigma circle of ODK is the Maryland chapter of the national leadership honor society, Omicron Delta Kappa. The five areas of leadership celebrated by ODK are represented in the five tiers of the fountain-Scholarship; Athletics; Campus or Community Service, Social, and Religious Activities, and Campus Government; Journalism, Speech, and the Mass Media; the Creative and Performing Arts.
