Joint Chapter Meeting with Beta Epsilon Chapter Hosts NC DKG State President Janie Webb

The Beta Epsilon Chapter in Gaston county joined our Delta Tau chapter for a joint Meeting on February 7th, 2026. chapter Presidents Patty Smith and Dawn Emory invited State President Janie Webb to join us and she was our Program Speaker. She inspired us with her encouragement and words of wisom about the future of DKG and how we each play an intrical part. She shared that we have to be a catalyst for change and focus on what we have to gain instead of what we have to lose. She reminded us of a quote from our DKG Founder Annie Webb that still resonates even today, “Be Progressive. Keep up with the moving world while not discarding what in the old has value. But don’t cling to the old when its worth has passed. Don’t be a person so set in your own ways that nothing can change you.” Our meeting included business and a fun time of fellowship with one another.
