Order of Magnolia
The “Order of Magnolia” is an extension of the Leadership Development Committee and will serve as a valuable resource to the Zeta State President, Zeta State Committee Chairmen, Chapter Presidents, and the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International membership.
In appreciation of their contribution to the rich legacy of Zeta State, the inductees were honored at the President’s Banquet with a PowerPoint slideshow, and each was presented a personalized “Magnolia” memory plate that was created especially for the “Order of the Magnolia” by the 2007 Zeta State President, Mrs. Lynn Holliday.
