Fun DG Facts!

[DGMarie]

I received the three ANCHORA I ordered (1923/24/25) and they are very interesting....

--there are photos of all the girls who were Phi Beta Kappa (no cheerleaders anywhere)

--photo of Eva Webb from the 1924 convention plus many letters she wrote to the ANCHORA throughout those years, including mention of how she had no idea the fratenrity was still going until she had been invited to the previous convention.

--there is the first mention that if only alumnae would send in $1 each they would relieve the burden of sponsoring convention from the hostess chapter

--a birthday fund (to celebrate the 50th birthday of the fraternity) raised over $57,000 (think about that from the perspective of how much that would be today: $601,000 to be exact!)

--the 1924 issue includes a 11 x 13 fold out photo of all the convention attendees

--cost of the 1926 convention for delegates: $5 per day, room and board included.

--chapter reports included those who were engaged, married or had children

--the covers of all three issues are military grey with black print, very industrial looking

--each issue is quite long--over 100 pages, with photos sprinkled throughout

--there is an interesting section on fundraising ideas for the times

very interesting read!
