About Us

Beta Rho Chapter was founded on June 2, 1973 when nineteen educators from Monroe County, Michigan were initiated into membership of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, Alpha Iota State, Beta Rho Chapter. Beta Rho's currrent membership stands at 44 active and 3 reserve members. Members who are actively teaching or supervising are employed at all levels from K through college. Our monthly meetings are held on the fourth Thursday at various locations around Monroe County.

The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International is a professional honor society of women educators. The Society promotes professional and personal growth of its members and excellence in education. Prospective members who evidence leadership qualities are invited to join and must meet the membership qualifications set by The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International.
