Initiates were Danville Middle School social studies teacher Ginger Bodnarick, South Putnam Central Elementary teacher Michael Fisher, Area 30 Career Center Academic Integration Instructor Marcia Murtagh, Cloverdale Schools biology teacher Chelsey Meluch and retired special education teacher Marilyn Brackney.

Delta Kappa Gamma is an honorary international society of women educators from around the world. The society promotes professional and personal growth of educators and excellence in education.

Each year, the Epsilon Chapter presents a grant-in-aid award to a deserving Putnam County female student who majors in education. The recipient this year is Emily Clark, a graduate of South Putnam High School, who will complete her elementary education degree at Indiana State University next year.
