Beginnings
Twelve women met in 1929 on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin with noble aspirations to build an organization to promote women in education and bring recognition and respect to their profession. The result of their planning was the founding of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. The Delta Kappa Gamma Song Women teachers to the calling Firmly rally, never falling Duty ne’er upon us palling, Staunch, courageous we! Loyalty and trust e’er heeding Mindful of our sisters needing, Aid and guidance from those leading, Helpful may we be! To Delta Kappa Gamma Faith we pledge forever! Hand in hand our loyal band, Forward moving ever! Onward! ‘Tis our sisters need us! Courage, Faith, and Honor lead us! Wrongs in truth and justice heed us! Firmly shall we stand! Guardians of the faith yet sleeping For our sisters watch e’er keeping Deeds of others now we’re reaping, We for others stand! To us pioneers have given; We return their gifts to heaven; Work for others is the leaven That inspires our band! Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma In thy fold we gather! Unity and Liberty, Shall be our watchwords ever! Education e’er we’ll further; Each is bound to each as brother; With this faith in one another We shall win for aye! |
