Delta Kappa Gamma Finland
The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International came to Finland in 1974, when Alpha Chapter was founded in Helsinki and Beta Chapter in Jyväskylä. These were followed by Gamma Chapter in Turku (1975), Delta Chapter in Oulu and Epsilon Chapter in Joensuu (1980) and Zeta Chapter in Tampere (1990).
The Finland State Organisation is run by each chapter in turn for two years. The annual general meeting and seminar are organised by the board of the Finland State Organisation.
At the moment we have approximately 110 members.
The International headquarters sends us Delta Kappa Gamma News six times a year and the Delta Kappa Gamma Bulletin four times a year. It also makes available funding for scholarships seminars and meetings.
Locally we try to achieve the goals of the society. Each chapter has its own annual theme, projects and plan of action.
