Delta Kappa Gamma (ΔΚΓ) is a professional society for women educators.

History

The society was founded on May 11, 1929, at the Faculty Women’s Club at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas. The idea was conceived by Annie Webb Blanton, member of the faculty of the University of Texas and a former state superintendent of public instruction in Texas. Eleven women educators from Texas were initiated: Mamie Sue Bastian, Houston, Texas; Ruby Cole, San Antonio, Texas; Mabel Grizzard, Waxahachie, Texas; Anna Hiss, Austin, Texas; Ray King, Fort Worth, Texas; Sue King, Fort Worth, Texas; Helen Koch, Austin, Texas; Ruby Terrill Lomax, Austin, Texas; Cora M. Martin, Austin, Texas; Lalla M. Odom, Austin, Texas; Lela Lee Williams, Dallas, Texas.[1]

Organizational structure

The society is structured in three levels: local chapters, state, and international organizations. Its Constitution and Standing Rules govern activities at all levels. Member countries as of October 2020 are the United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Finland, Guatemala, Iceland, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Great Britain, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Germany, Estonia, Panama, and Japan.[2]

The DKG Rose may be used as a simpler branding option than the official crest.

Symbolism and traditions

The red rose logo was developed in a recent rebranding effort.

The colors of the Society are Red and Green.[3]
