Alpha Psi Omega
Alpha Psi Omega is a national theatre honor society established in 1925 for the purpose of providing acknowledgement to those demonstrating a high standard of accomplishment in theatre and, through the expansion of Alpha Psi Omega among colleges and universities, providing a wider fellowship for those interested in theatre. Alpha Psi Omega has enjoyed continuous national growth and, with over 550 casts, is the largest national honor society in America.
The Tau Kappa cast of Alpha Psi Omega seeks to develop dramatic talent and enhance production and performance at the University of Oklahoma. The organization supports the University of Oklahoma’s dramatic productions, including those produced by the School of Drama, the Weitzenhoffer Department of Musical Theatre, the School of Dance and student produced productions through fund-raising, promotion or “hands on” assistance, such as serving concessions, building sets and props or offering cast/crew support. The organization also seeks to encourage and support the dramatic arts in the community by reaching out to interested youth and financially supporting local charity. This chapter is also dedicated to its own members in friendship and personal support. Members are pledged and inducted each fall semester. Each new member is eligible to pledge based on a variable point system, reflective of accomplishment and dedication to the theatre (see current officers for details). If a student meets these requirements and desires to pledge, he or she will be accepted.
