  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the many 
accomplishments of the Massachusetts chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) 
on the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding. Delta Kappa Gamma has

played an integral role in supporting women in education across the 
world. Here at home, the Alpha Upsilon chapter has been promoting their 
values of uniting, honoring and advancing female educators in our very 
midst for seventy-five years.
  Founded in 1929 in Austin, Texas, Delta Kappa Gamma was conceived as 
a forum for teachers from all environments to come together in the 
spirit of professional betterment. DKG has always sought to reach out 
to teachers from all walks of life. From rural school teachers to urban 
college professors, it has been the vision of the organization to 
celebrate distinguished female educators.
  On June 30, 1941, the Alpha Upsilon chapter of DKG was established at 
the historic Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston as the 44th such 
chapter in the nation. Since its founding, this Massachusetts chapter 
has flourished--providing many opportunities and resources for its 
active members.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking the women of Delta Kappa 
Gamma for all they have done in advancing the cause of education around 
the world and in celebrating their 75th anniversary.
