Affinity Groups

Did you sing in the choir, represent Grinnell on the field, or lead a student group on campus? Affinity groups are a place to reconnect and find others who shared many of the vibrant cultural interests and campus groups which add to the experience that is Grinnell. These groups can also be anything you want them to be. If you would like to start a group for Grinnellians who are new parents, love the Cubs, or work in a certain industry, go for it.

Grinnell is utilizing the power of social media for these groups. If you already have an affinity group on a social media platform not listed on this page, and would like to share it with other alumni, please email us and we will post it to this page.
