Ceremonies Committee

The Ceremonies Committee promotes an appreciation of the heritage and traditions of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.  (Texas State Rules, adopted 2018).  It is the task of this committee to act as a resource to chapters as they prepare and present various ceremonies throughout the year.  This committee has access to a large archive of ceremonies for induction, installation, recommitment, and remembrance.  Also available are programs for celebrating Founders Day and chapter birthdays.  The Ceremonies Book (2011) contains the new, more contemporary ceremonies along with traditional ceremonies.

​This committee is honored to play a part in the Birthday Celebration and the Founder’s and President’s Banquet at the annual Texas State Convention.   During the even numbered years, the Ceremonies Committee will present sessions at Area Workshops.  

​The ceremonies and programs listed on this page are there for use in your chapter.   Click on the link below to search the International website for appropriate ceremonies.  If you need assistance, contact any member of the TSO Ceremonies Committee.  They are here to help you!

​To walk with confidence into the future, they must first, understand our heritage.  Celebrate DKG!
