Excuse me for butting in on your thread, but I started a group that's probably as close to an online AA about 8 years ago..long before Kappa Delta HQ even had a website.

I started off just emailing news back & forth, then the list grew to over 2000 people. We've had "reunions" at the last 3 Conventions (since 1997).

Just before our 2001 Convention, I started a Yahoogroup (which requires member verification from HQ - they cooperate, thankfully), and we have about 150 women chatting back & forth. This group has grown VERY close - if I was to charter an AA, it would be with these women.

In 1997, the "Kappa Delta Online" group made a contribution to our sorority's 100th anniversary fund, but it was tough to collect money from people. (This was in the days before Paypal.)

I refer to newsletter subscribers as Onliners and yahoogroup subscribers as Groupers. All Groupers are Onliners but not all Onliners are Groupers.

My newsletter & yahoogroup are both unofficial, which I clearly state in all mailings, but I have obtained the "blessing" of KD HQ.

If you want more info, feel free to PM me.
