Your online magazine is easy to navigate, easy to read and well presented. And the sound of the pages turning isn’t bad either!

Justine Bookin, Gamma Kappa-UC, Santa Barbara Perfect Web experience! Thank you. The online ANCHORA is perfect! Laurel Troner, Epsilon Beta-Bucknell I enjoyed having the ANCHORA online.

After reading “Sisters to the Rescue” (pp. 24-25) and “The Scoop” (p. 28) I was so proud of all our DGs accomplish to “Do Good”! I can hardly wait for the next issue!

Nothing’s Lost on Them Thanks a million for the ANCHORA. What a gas! The article (“LOST,” pp. 8-11) was every bit as gratifying as one could want, and reassured me that — once in a while anyway — one’s efforts aren’t for screen option would make everything a little bigger so I could see it. Using the zoom function wasn’t much help since you only see an eighth of a page at a time.

Your successful adventure is inspiring. DG’s online ANCHORA is also impressive. It was so easy to navigate. But I am like your sisters quoted in the letters to the editor Section who said they still prefer to read the hard copy. Still, how great it is to be able to forward an issue or article via e-mail to someone else who might be interested! It’s exactly what I am going to do right now: forward your article to all the members of our Heritage Committee. I know they’ll be equally fascinated and applaud your committee’s efforts.<br /> <br /> Mary Edith Arnold, Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity Archivist Staying Connected (Better Now?)<br /> <br /> I so enjoyed this issue on “staying connected.†You did a wonderful job on the subject of sisters staying in touch, especially those who leave to study abroad (“On Campus,†pp. 30-39). The report from Beta Zeta was very meaningful for me. I am so glad the sisters work so hard to maintain contact with those all over the world, sending care packages and having a special dinner to share their experiences. I <br /> And non-DGs alike delighted in reading about how our archives committee members reconnected with seven “lost†former Fraternity Presidents (far left). Readers also enjoyed firsthand accounts from collegians who took their DG experience abroad (left).<br /> <br /> Felt like a stranger when I returned after a year of study in Paris with the Sweet Briar College group, 1954-55. Collegians today should be proud of their special and meaningful ways of sharing.<br /> <br /> Nancy Wilkins Klein, Beta Zeta-Denison Keeping You Informed My Anchora arrived yesterday full of good news. I’ll look forward to more editions. As a past president of Beta Beta chapter at the University of Alberta, I always read the Anchora with interest, and enjoy seeing news of the continuing development of the Fraternity. Keep up the good work there.<br /> <br /> Betty Gourlay, Beta Beta-Alberta I have really enjoyed the summer issue.<br /> <br /> Thanks for all you do for our Fraternity.<br /> <br /> Eleanor Wagner Cary, Alpha Rho-Ohio Wesleyan Anchored to Our Sisterhood “Anchored by a Chain of Love†(pp. 6-7) brought a smile to my face. In 1998, while I was in college, I wrote a very similar story for the ANCHORA about a group of women from my beloved Delta Epsilon chapter and their dedication to one another through a “round robin†chain letter, begun in the 1950s. While my friends and I now rely on Facebook© to share updates and photos, I hope the women of Alpha Theta chapter find inspiration in knowing that the women I featured in that story kept their letter going for six decades!<br /> <br /> Sarah Leer Frey, Delta Epsilon-University of the Pacific I was so delighted to see the photo of my pledge sisters and me in the summer issue!<br /> <br /> When I opened the magazine I thought, “Oh, my gosh! I know those faces!†I remember the time so fondly. I have the enjoyment of regular reunions with Shirley Jones Bowors. It brought a smile to my face to relive those times!<br /> <br /> Barbara Rockwell Bauer, Alpha Theta-North Dakota All in Due Time Your ad in the ANCHORA regarding dues inspired me to renew my commitment to Delta Gamma.
