ODE is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies; the ACHS indicates that ODE inducts approximately 4,000 collegiate members each year and has more than 100,000 living lifetime members. There are approximately 700 active ODE chapters worldwide.[2] New members consist of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as college and university faculty;[3] the academic achievement required to obtain membership for students can be raised by individual chapters, as well as the ability to run for office or wear honors cords during graduation.[4] It publishes an academic journal entitled The American Economist twice each year.[5][6]
