Affinity groups connect alumni based on a shared interest or Winthrop experience. Groups have common connections — such as fraternities, sororities, honor societies, majors, athletics or residence halls. If you are interested in establishing an affinity group, joining an active group or planning a group event, please contact the Alumni Association at alumni@winthrop.edu.
To connect with fellow alumni in your affinity group, join Winthrop Connect, our exclusive online mentoring and networking platform for alumni! Create a profile to connect with fellow alumni, join an affinity group, search and post jobs, offer mentoring services and more. Watch this video to learn why Erica Smith '04 is excited for Winthrop Connect. Visit winthropconnect.org to join!
The alumni association provides affinity groups with the following services:
Code group members in the association's constituent database
Assist with event planning and promotion
Create online registration page for events and reunions
Send e-mail invitations to group members
