​​Georgia State Organization
​Founders

The Georgia organization of DKG was named Psi State because it was the twenty-third state in which a DKG chapter was chartered.  (A name change to Georgia State Organization occurred in 2019.)  Alpha Chapter was the first chapter to be organized, and it is located in Atlanta.  We honor the memories of the following key women educators who founded DKG in Georgia.
