I am NOT trying to flame you, but I do have to say that I completely disagree w/E-mail. I think E-mail shows a lack of effort, rather then interest. If you want to reach out to a group, it's better to do it personally, then by internet. Anyone can go to a group's website and pull a few e-mails off and say "Hey, I think XYZ is SOOOOOOOOOOO coooooool. I really, really, really, really, really, really want to be a member. My name is Sally and I'm a Retail Therapy major with a 1.23 GPA, etc..." If I were a member of that group, I would probably be creeped out by that. It's much more personal and effective to walk up to a member and introduce yourself and ask a question about the group.
