Special Projects

Schools for Africa Project

     Key women educators have partnered with UNICEF, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, and the Hamburg Society to improve educational opportunities for children in Africa.  For $10, a student gets a learner kit.  Ten children get learning materials for $45.  A three-day workshop for a teacher that benefits 1,200 children is $125 and there are many more ways to help.  If you would like to be a part of this effort, go to the DKG website, www.dkg.org, click on Library, Project for Africa, and decide how you might like to support the children in Africa.   

The Delta Kappa Gamma Song

Words by Annie Webb Blanton and Cora M. Martin

Music by Lillian Mohr Fox

Women teachers to the calling, 

Firmly rally, never falling,

Duty ne're upon us palling,

Staunch, courageous, we!

Loyalty and trust e'er heeding,

Mindful of our sisters needing

Aid and guidance from those leading,

Helpful may we be!

To Delta Kappa Gamma

Faith we pledge forever!

Hand in hand, our loyal band,

Forward, moving ever!

Onward! 'tis our sisters need us,

Courage, Faith and Honor lead us!

Wrongs in truth and justice heed us!

Firmly we shall stand!

Guardians of the faith yet sleeping,

For our sisters watch e'er keeping,

Deeds of others now we're reaping,

We for others stand!

To us pioneers have given;

We return their gifts to Heaven;

Work for others is the leaven

That inspires our band!

Oh, Delta Kappa Gamma

In thy fold we gather;

Unity and Liberty

Shall be our watchwords ever!

Education e'er we'll further;

Each is bound to each as brother,

With this faith in one another,

We shall win, for aye!

Lyrics are from Our Heritage, Volume I,
