Delta Kappa Gamma Society, Eta Chapter (Missoula, Montana) Records, 1944-1996

Delta Kappa Gamma Sorority International is an honorary society for women educators. The Eta Chapter was organized on May 6, 1944, in Missoula, Montana, at the Florence Hotel. Since its inception, the chapter raised money to fund a wide range of projects, including scholarships for members to seek further professional education and charitable causes in their community. The members formed a committee to restore the Hellgate Trading Post, beginning in 1950. The property was later sold to the Hillstroms, who worked with Eta Chapter to preserve the site. By 1976, the Grant Creek Schoolhouse at Fort Missoula became the chapter’s restoration project. They restored and furnished the schoolhouse building and published a history of the school in 1981, written by Mildred Dufresne. The schoolhouse was dedicated that same year.

As of 2004 the organization was still active.
