​The Kappa chapter, which was founded in 2007 within the Icelandic State Organization of DKG, has 24 members. 2013-2014 is the 7th year of operations.

Each year the chapter selects a motto, and the current one is "woman in the bridge", with a focus on women who are specifically engaged in society, are leaders and unafraid to walk against the current to enhance the way of women, for example in occupations that women have not been prominent or led and managed so far. This motto is derived from the well-established term in maritime language. "The man in the bridge" refers to the captain who stands in the bridge of a ship and steers the ship, all activities, takes decisions that make a difference for the catch and economy of his subordinates, or even between life and death. This term for captain is strong and rooted in our national awareness and expresses respect for the occupation, while implying a certain humour.
 
It was the idea of Kappa sisters to ask women within and outside the chapter to share their experience, not the least from their formative years of growth and maturity, from being a child and teenager with dreams of the future, until adulthood. These women told of how temperament, upbringing, parental motivation, ideals and education affected which path they chose. The women that have shared their experience and knowledge with the group are somewhat different and work in commerce, trade, technology, industry and education, but all share enthusiasm, clear goals and fighting spirit, which has made them "women in the bridge" that really affect their contemporary and are important role models for other women on the pioneering path.
 
Each year we have a book meeting, where Kappa sistes tell of works and authors that have marked footprints in their life.These book meetings are always content rich and certainly expand the horizons of participants, because we constantly surprise each others with a broad taste in literature and  complex view of the subject. It has certainly been an inspiration to get to know the "women in the bridge". They have encouraged pro-activeness, and underlined how important the women capital is in all fields of society.

The Eta chapter board decided to focus on the 7th purpose of DKG: To inform members of current economic, social, political and educational issues so that they may participate effectively in a world society.  

One meeting was dedicated to the work on a new constitution for Iceland, the innovative process involved and the reason why there was no political agreement to continue with the process. Another meeting focused on the unprecedented growth in the tourist industry and what it takes in terms of protecting sensitive areas from overcrowding as well as offering the best service possible. Both these issues have been hotly debated around Iceland and the discussions following introductions by experts were lively. 
One meeting was held in a school known for innovative teaching approaches. The headmaster is a member of Eta. We were informed about the ways learner autonomy and democratic work methods are practised with students with positive results. 

We always have a traditional Christmas meeting and the highlight is a visit from an author who has recently published a book that has got favourable reviews. 
Apart from the  professional agenda, Eta sisters also emphasize having fun together. There are now 28 members and we are in the process of expanding.

From September of 2012 to May of 2014 the Alpha Chapter has focused on the “Keys of Society”. We then decided to narrow our focus further on education, communications, the arts and literature. We have had very interesting guest speakers and visited a school regarding the subjects mentioned above.  We were pleased to have the newly elected bishop, Mrs. Sigurðardóttir, be one of our many honorable guest speakers.
 
One of the subjects discussed during this period of time was the possibilities for young male prisoners to obtain an education.
 
We held one meeting regarding the subject where the Director-General of Prison and Probation Administration (Mrs. Frímannsdóttir) and a student counselor (Mrs. Bjarnadóttir) informed us about the current state of affairs and education options available to male prisoners.
 
Needless to say an education is crucial for these young men and a lot of great things are already being done in the Icelandic prison system when it comes to education, like with most things there is always room for betterment. With the very ambitious people working with in the prisons system I am sure that improvement will continue.
 
We were also informed about the situation regarding young female prisoners, regrettably the situation for these women, when it comes to obtaining an education in prison, is not as good. This may in part be due to the number of female prisoners which is very low (5-10). This would be a subject for another meeting.
 
To conclude, the subject of one meeting was gender and how it influences opportunities, expectations and participation in society. Gender equality has for a long time been an important subject in the Icelandic community. Even though we have achieved great success in getting closer to equality for both genders the subject is relevant as ever and important to stay focused so further steps towards gender quality continue to be taken.
 
The boards goal was that each meeting would be memorable, educational, be characterized by good communications and friendship. It was also important to us that the meetings would leave members with something to think about. All of this with keeping the values of Delta Kappa Gamma in mind.
