those chapters who meet the criteria at various levels of achievement. It is a thank you to chapters who have
stretched the potential of their membership to achieve the mission of Delta Kappa Gamma. This document is to be
used as a tool, providing guidance, possibility, and reflection for chapters in NC DKG.
