Old ANCHORA Quotes, etc.

Just found the March 1885 ANCHORA! Wow!

From it:

Regarding starting new chapters (neat to me since I was a founding sister of my chapter)-
"A young fraternity, perhaps more than others, needs men or women of metal, of energy, of perseverance. For there is work to do. But no less does it need men or women of honor, integrity, purity and unselfishness. Each member of a chapter helps establish a standard of right or wrong for every other member."

A song to the tune of "Juanita" (which I found here)
"Like music stealing,
Sweetly falling on the ear,
Joyously pealing -
Delta Gamma, dear
Sweetest name that ever
Greets our ears, dear sisters true,
We'll forget thee never -
Our bonze, pink and blue.

Chorus - Delta, Delta Gamma
We will ever sing of thee,
Delta, Delta Gamma,
Loved fraternity.

They bond's the sweetest
Binding close, while yet we're free,
Time flies the fleetest
To sweet melody.
So we'll raise our voices
In sweet union, ringing clear,
For each heart rejoices
In our band so dear.

Chorus

Fair Delta Gamma,
Our loved queen, we bow to thee;
And crowned with honor,
May thy brow o'er be.
And we'll all, thy children,
Join in giving homage due,
A fiar structure building
For the good and true.

Chorus.
- Mrs. T.P. Twiggs

From January 1885:

There is a section called "Among the Hellenes," which shares other Greek news. This amused me:

"Kappa Alpha is bold in claiming the handsomest man in the south."

Later in a member news-type sections, it states:
"Lucy Clark rejoices in being the possessor of a Delta Gamma pin handsomely set with garnets and pearls." -- I'd love to see it!
