In May 1996, the University of Oregon Department of Intercollegiate Athletics reinstituted the long dormant letter-winners club, the Order of the O. The club is for alumni who have earned a varsity letter in a NCAA-accredited sport while at Oregon.
The purpose of the Order of the O is to perpetuate the legacy and tradition of
U of O athletics. Promoting excellence and leadership of all athletic programs by fostering enduring relationships among current athletes and former letter winners.
Order of the O functions are social in nature, and while many functions are set in Eugene, the Order also stresses the importance of out-of-area members. Activities are designed to make every past student-athlete once again experience the pride of being a part of the University of Oregon.

Recently, the University of Oregon Athletic Department and the Order of the ‘O’ announced its partnership with Career Athletes to help provide additional career education, guidance, and networking opportunities for both former and current collegiate athletes.
