Membership in Delta Kappa Gamma Society International
Those who become members of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International are offered a lifelong association with other women educators engaged in the shared pursuit of common interests, goals and ideals. Delta Kappa Gamma members include classroom teachers, college and university professors, administrators and supervisors, librarians and educational specialists.
A candidate accepting the invitation to membership is initiated as a member of a chapter, a state organization and the international Society.
The three categories of membership are active, reserve and honorary. An active member shall be a woman who is employed as a professional educator or has been retired from an educational position. An active member shall participate in the activities of the Society. Reserve membership is limited to those members no longer able to participate. Honorary membership is extended to selected women in recognition of their significant professional and/or community contributions to education who otherwise are ineligible for active membership.
Membership in the Society carries with it responsibility as well as honor. Those who accept the invitation to join commit themselves to taking an active part in programs, special projects and organizational activities.
Members are expected to participate at chapter meetings regularly and assume certain financial obligations as well. Dues are determined in accordance with the Constitution, the International Standing Rules, state organization bylaws and chapter rules. There also may be nominal annual assessments to support professional and self-development programs.
The rewards of membership bear a direct relationship to each individual's commitment. Programs are designed to create a stimulating environment for the professional growth of each member as well as to focus group attention on current educational issues and to allow formulation of alternatives and solutions.
