The Kappa Lambda Chapter is the 乔治亚牙科学院 component of Omicron Kappa Upsilon (总裁), 全国牙科荣誉协会 with chapters in all U.S. and Canadian Dental Schools. It is dentistry’s equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa or Phi Kappa Phi.
该分会非常积极地支持学生奖学金和成就。 During the academic year, many students are recognized by this chapter with certificates and scholarship awards.
总裁识别的例子包括：
The Kappa Lambda chapter also sponsors an annual research award named after founding DCG dean, Dr. Judson C. Hickey, and an award for the best comprehensive patient case presentation by a senior. We also sponsor an award for a junior student that is selected by their classmates for their professional character, which is named after former chapter and national 总裁 president, Dr. Ralph McKinney.
总裁的成员由选举产生。 Each year we elect alumni members from the graduating senior class. To be eligible for membership, candidates must rank academically in the top 20% of their class. From this group, a number equal to 12% of the senior class may be voted into membership and inducted into 总裁 just prior to graduation.
Invitations for membership are based on GPA, extracurricular activities and professional conduct. Each year we also elect one honorary member who may or may not be a dentist, and two faculty members. Their election is based on significant contributions to the art and science of dentistry. To read more about 总裁, please visit 奥米克隆Kappa Upsilon最高分会（总裁） website.
每年学年结束时，我们都会举行宴会来庆祝我们的新成员。 新成员是总裁的客人，参加晚宴和表彰。 This is an elegant evening in which new members are encouraged to invite guests and family to celebrate their induction.
