The Birth Of Tau
On the evening set aside, January 17, 1931, the Tau Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma was organized in Mexia by Dr. Annie Webb Blanton, National President of Delta Kappa Gamma and Miss Mamie Bastian, Alpha State President. Tau chapter was the first at which both the national and state president officiated in the initiation. On that evening a spark of inspiration was fanned into a flame which quickened the hearts of 12 women teachers of both Limestone and Freestone counties. Thus was forged the nineteenth link of an organization that was destined to soon make itself known and loved in every state in the United States. That link now expands into 17 foreign countries and includes 100,000 members. by– Dene Anderson
