In a tradition dating back to 1917, small groups of students have been selected, or “tapped,” by their peers to join one of six, student-led, secret honor societies. The six societies, Omicron Delta Kappa, LSV, Mortar Board, QEBH, Rollins Society and Mystical Seven, honor new members for their service, leadership and excellence. New initiate identities are kept secret until Tap Day. Each society may also honor tap a staff or faculty member who has made significant contributions to the Mizzou community.
