Message from President

To the Sisters of Delta Kappa Gamma and anyone else who views this website,

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I greet you as your President for the 2026–2028 biennium. To be trusted with the leadership of the esteemed Iota Chapter is a profound honor and I accept with the utmost respect for the incredible women who have held this gavel before me.

I have encountered a wealth of wisdom, a legacy of service, and enough collective brainpower to solve most of the world’s problems before the coffee gets cold. Being asked to lead such a group is a bit like being asked to conduct an orchestra of virtuosos. My main goal is to keep us all in the same key and hope I don’t accidentally drop the baton.

Our mission remains clear as we move forward. We will continue to uphold the foundational values of Delta Kappa Gamma of promoting professional growth, excellence in education, and much-needed "spiritual fellowship" that keeps us grounded. While we honor our traditions, we will not stand still. We are committed to pushing toward new horizons and ensure that Iota remains a vibrant, relevant, and supportive home for every educator in our ranks.

I am genuinely excited to serve you over the next two years. I promise to lead with vision, to listen with an open heart, and to keep my presidential speeches shorter than a Friday afternoon faculty meeting.

Thank you for your trust, your guidance, and your dedication to our sisterhood. Let’s make these next two years some of our best yet.

With warmest regards,

Aletta Burton

President, Iota Chapter
