On Saturday, May 1, 2010 the Zeta Rho Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International initiated Gloria Ventura and Micaela Wright as two new members of the chapter. The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is a professional honorary Society of women educators. The Society promotes professional and personal growth of its members and excellence in education.

ZETA RHO CHAPTER OF DELTA KAPPA GAMMA SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL - Pictured above from left to right, Elvira Marroquin (member), Gloria Ventura (initiate), Alicia Rodrigurez (treasurer), Patricia Brashire (president), Micaela Wright (initiate), Della Miller (secretary), and Marian Parrish (vice president). Not shown, Virginia Denny (corresponding secretary). 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. These Founders created a list of five Purposes which were intended to guide the organization. This number later grew to seven. These Purposes are as relevant today as they were in 1929.

Membership is by invitation only, but if we don’t know you are interested we can’t invite you to join us.
