There's a lot of detailed history in those old ANCHORAS that hasn't made it into the history book. Just not room to get it all in there, I guess. (Do we still have a history book?) It's not even on the DG website!
Somehow I stumbled onto a bit of history of Fairmount College, where DG had its second chapter, Theta. It only lasted 3 years, 1877-80.
Fairmount was a girls school in Monteagle TN, which you may know is very close to Sewanee, where the University of the South is located. Mrs. Louise Yerger and Mrs. Harriet Kells moved their girls' school from Jackson, Miss., to Mont Eagle Mountain in 1872.
I'll post some more background on the college and Delta Gamma's short tenure there as I dig.
