The California State Organization of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International celebrates the diamond jubilee of Pasadena's Omicron chapter.In a nod to past initiation ceremonies, the participants will dress in cocktail attire for a celebratory meal and to honor the history of Omicron chapter and the Delta Kappa Gamma organization as a whole.
An organization of women educators, Delta Kappa Gamma was founded at the University of Austin, Texas in 1929, at a time when women educators were not allowed in the major teaching fraternal organizations, and often faced segregation or prejudice in the workplace. DKG was created to nurture women in higher education, and to provide a conduit for training and support as women rose in the education fields.
