Alpha Delta Kappa, International Honorary Organization for Women Educators

Alpha Delta Kappa is an International Honorary Organization for Women Educators. Members are dedicated to improving and promoting education as well as the teaching profession, taking personal action to make a difference in the community, and increasing world understanding.

Alpha Delta Kappa was founded in 1947 by women who saw a need for an organization to promote close professional and personal ties among women educators. Currently, there are more than 31,000 members and 1,200 chapters located in every state in the United States and Puerto Rico as well as Australia, Canada, Jamaica and Mexico

October is Alpha Delta Kappa Month and Sigma Chapter members are participating as they provide treats for faculty members in selected schools, donate books to libraries in Cleveland County, and make monetary donations in the names of members who have recently joined the Omega Chapter.

Around the world, Alpha Delta Kappa members combine their time and energy to:

• enrich the lives of others through thousands of community-based projects

• offer workshops, conferences, conventions, and scholarships to support professional/personal development

• recognize and spotlight innovative work by today's teachers

• provide numerous scholarships to young women and men studying education

• promote world understanding and education in other countries by annually providing scholarships for eligible young women to study at U.S. universities/colleges

• promote world understanding through the building of schools in Vietnam and Peru and supporting a bookmobile and education program on the Cheyenne River Lakota/Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
