The Delta Kappa Gamma
Society is a professional honorary society of women educators. The
Society promotes professional and personal growth of its members and excellence
in education.
The Delta Kappa
Gamma International Society was formed in 1929 when twelve women met
on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin to establish an
organization to promote women in education and bring recognition and respect
to their profession.
At the present The
Society is composed of 77 state organizations in 14 countries. Our Delta
