The 82nd annual Boar’s Head Concert and Celebration

Oglethorpe University’s annual holiday tradition, the Boar’s Head Concert and Celebration, combines seasonal music with a celebration of Omicron Delta Kappa’s newest inductees. The Boar’s Head Celebration at Oglethorpe University is inspired by the Coat of Arms of the family of James Edward Oglethorpe. More broadly, the feast of the Boar’s Head has been a traditional celebration at English colleges that marks the beginning of the holiday season. The evening’s ceremony is derived from an awareness of English collegiate heritage and our continuing affirmation for the qualities of leadership, valor and vision exemplified by General Oglethorpe. The program features the Boar’s Head processional of Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) national leadership honor society members as well as the introduction of new members of ODK. Music for the ceremony is performed by the combined music ensembles from Oglethorpe University.
