Author Terry Lee Marzell was invited to address the members as a guest speaker at the Beta Phi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International on Monday, May 20, 2019.

The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International (DKG) was founded in 1929 by Dr. Annie Webb Blanton and a group of eleven of her colleagues at the University of Texas, Austin. Since 1929, the DKG organization has spread to over all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and 17 international countries. On March 2, Terry was named one of 37 charter members of the newly-formed Kappa Beta Chapter which serves Corona, Norco, Chino, and Chino Hills. The Beta Phi chapter serves California’s southern Orange County, which includes Irvine, Rancho Santa Margarita, Tustin, and Huntington Beach. The meeting was held in Rancho Santa Margarita.
