Cool!!!
I'm an Alpha Tau and we share the anchor with you guys! I don't know why the anchor was chosen for our sorority (nor do I know if our founders knew about Delta Gamma).
Our HQ landed in Birmingham because for a while our HQ was basically in the home/basement of one of our past National Presidents who lived in Birmingham. Apparently space became available to purchase in B-ham, it was affordable, etc. and therefore it became ours! (Don't know if that's the official reason B-ham was chosen, but I do know that all of our archives and stuff resided with that National President for a while). We probably had a HQ somewhere else at one point (surely we didn't operate out of basements for 100 years!!) but I don't know where it was.
She (the past Nat. Pres.) is working on an updated history of AST, so the answers might be in there.
Just wanted to chime in!
