Our Society, Delta Kappa Gamma History

The Society was founded on May 11, 1929, at the Faculty  Women's Club in Austin, Texas.  Founders were Dr. Annie Webb Blanton  (originator), Mamie Bastian, Ruby Cole, Mabel Grizzard, Anna Hiss, Ray King, Sue  King, Dr. Helen Koch, Dr. Cora Matin, Lalla M. Odom, Ruby Terrill (Lomax), and  Lea Lee Williams.  
 
Charter and Incorporation were granted on August 19,  1929.  The first unit outside of the United States was in British Columbia,  Canada, on June 12, 19953.  The original charter was amended on June 12, 1953,  to permit unlimited international expansion.  In August 1956, the term  "inter-national" officially replaced "national" in the Constitution, as applied  to the chief officers and organization.  The International Office Building, in  Austin, Texas, was dedicated on August 3, 1956. 

Women of today's Delta Kappa Gamma Society International serve as change agents. Members span
the spectrum of generations and educational involvement and are known as  Key  Women Educators. Members reach beyond standard expectations, strive for excellence in education and work as a collaborative
force.
