It was as much a social organization as it was an athletics club. Prior to this time, there weren't many opportunities for student-athletes to enjoy all the social aspects of college.<br /><br />To meet this need, the "O" Club was established and opened to all OU lettermen and their guests. They could get together and share the various experiences of student life beyond their particular sports. They sponsored dances and involved themselves in other campus activities in which other social groups participated.
