The Lambda Circle of ODK was established at Hampden-Sydney in 1924, and membership is a mark of highest distinction and honor. Selection of members is based on their influence as campus leaders to better campus life and to encourage high standards in all activities.

He is a member of the honorary society Omicron Delta Epsilon (economics) and the Society of ‘91 leadership program and is active in intramurals.
