Welcome to the website of Alpha State, The Texas State Organization of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. This Society was founded in 1929 by twelve key women educators led by Annie Webb Blanton in Austin, Texas. Approximately 14,000 members in 297 chapters of Alpha State proudly exemplify the mission statement of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International as they promote the professional and personal growth of women educators and excellence in education. Selected for outstanding contributions in their chosen fields of education, members share the leadership and knowledge gained through the Society with schools and communities.
Taking the seven Purposes of the Society to heart, members are directed to carry the dreams of our Founders into the reality of the twenty-first century as women in education are honored, mentored, promoted, supported and encouraged. Each member pledges support for the program of work and policies of the Society. Members are connected to and share ideas and talents with others in fifteen member countries. Benefits are derived from scholarships, stipends, workshops, travel and study, conferences, international speakers and renowned presenters, leadership training, continuing education credits and other programs. Networking with personal friends and professional contacts enriches the skills and abilities of selected women educators.
Alpha State committees continue to enjoy meeting and working in the new state headquarters in Dallas. Members continue to support this new administrative suite and are encouraged to visit and meet the staff. The many historical mementoes on display help members feel the joy and honor of membership in the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.
The theme for the 2007-2009 biennium is – A Kaleidoscope of People, Passions, Possibilities. Like a kaleidoscope's patterns, each member is unique and individual, yet together we form the beauty of Alpha State. Our passion for our profession and our Society forms the framework that binds us together and affords us many new possibilities.
