Our Founders

“We salute the twelve founders of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International. We honor them for their clarity of vision, for enduring faith in that vision, for the fortitude with which they held the course. We recognize their courage as breakers of precedents. We acknowledge our debt to them for enriched professional lives.”
