Theta Pond is one of Oklahoma State University's most iconic and beloved landmarks. Initially built in 1895 and known as Horse Pond, it provided water for the horses and livestock housed nearby. The pond was later renamed Theta Pond after the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, which was located across what was then College Avenue. Over the years, Theta Pond has undergone numerous renovations, including expansions, lighting, and landscaping, making it a picturesque spot for relaxation, photography, and university traditions. The pond is surrounded by stunning bald cypress trees, which provide shade and create a habitat for various animals, including ducks and geese. Theta Pond continues to be a central part of campus life, offering a tranquil setting for students, faculty and visitors to enjoy.
