Dear Sisters, THE ANCHOR is the official magazine of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority, and is published semiannually by the Alpha Sigma Tau National Sorority, 3334 Founders Road; Indianapolis, Indiana 46268
How to Receive THE ANCHOR
Collegiate members receive THE ANCHOR through payment of their annual Sorority dues to their chapters. Copies are mailed to each undergraduate member’s permanent address as designated on her membership list submitted to National Headquarters. Alumnae members receive THE ANCHOR through payment of their annual alumnae dues to either National Headquarters or through their local alumnae association ($40 annually).
Nearly 450 members and friends kicked off the summer by convening in Atlanta, Georgia at the 40th National Convention. In just three days, our members spent time conducting the business of the Sorority, electing new leadership, celebrating the achievements of our members and chapters, and developing lifelong friendships. This issue of THE ANCHOR will highlight the events of the Convention and you will have the opportunity to meet your newly elected 2014-2016 National Council and Nominations Committee.
How to Update Your Name and Address
Alpha Sigma Tau continues to add to our chapter roll by installing new collegiate chapters. This past spring, Alpha Sigma Tau installed our Epsilon Sigma Chapter at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Welcome to our newest collegiate chapter!

Welcome to Alpha Sigma Tau’s first digital issue! It’s been a long-time goal to have more than two issues per year. Even in the days before Facebook, and when email was not yet widely used, we heard about the accomplishments of so many sisters that we couldn’t possibly include everything in just two issues. Today, we are hearing from even more of you! We hope you enjoy this electronic summer edition of THE ANCHOR. We will continute to publish two print editions in the Fall and Spring. To make sure you receive yours, please update your information and pay your alumnae dues at http://alphasigmatau.org/alumnae/alumnae-dues/.
