The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is an international honorary society with over 82,000 key women educators in seventeen countries.
The Society was founded on May 11, 1929 in Austin, Texas, to promote equal status for women, to work for school legislation, and to provide financial assistance for women in their educational careers. Dr. Annie Webb Blanton, a member of the faculty of the University of Texas and a former state superintendent of public instruction, led twelve women educators in the founding of the society. They chose the name of the society based upon the initial letters of three Greek words meaning key women teachers.
