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, Celebration Brunch, and the Founders' and Presidents' 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 are for use in your chapter. Other ceremonies can be found on the International website. Contact any member of the TSO Ceremonies Committee for assistance.
