Chapter Birthday Ceremony

(Adapted from Theta Alpha Chapter)

Eighty three years ago on May 11, 1929

Twelve women of vision

Bravely took a step forward

That would change the role of women

In the working world.

These women not only sought

The opportunity to work,

But also to be the best that they could be:

To be leaders.

Their goals were high

And their dreams were realized.

Forty-six years ago on April 2, 1966

Twenty- four Dallas area women

Became charter members of Theta Alpha Chapter

Of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International

Under the direction of one of the society’s founders.

Dr. Cora M. Martin of Austin.

Theta Alpha Chapter became the 193rd chapter

Of the Alpha State, Texas organization.

Today we proudly celebrate the birthday of Theta Alpha Chapter

We honor the 24 women of the Dallas area who were vital stepping stones in making

The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International one of the largest professional women’s organizations in the world.

At this time let Theta Alpha Chapter remember the bold, brave, and courageous women who reached out to key women educators in the Dallas area by organizing the 193rd chapter of Alpha State,Texas.
