The Meaning of "DKG"

The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, founded in Austin, Texas,
May 11, 1929, is an educational, honor, professional organization for women educators.

The name is a combination of the initial letters of three Greek words:

Διδασκοτικι (dĭ des kō' tee ki') = teacher

Κλειδουχι (klĭ doo' kī) = key
Γυναικεσ (gee nī' kāys) = women

The word "Society" designates the comprehensive international organization. The terms "state" and "state organization" designate states, territories, provinces and comparable political divisions in countries where the Society is organized.
