NEW INTERNATIONAL DPHIE YAHOOGROUP!

Hi Ladies,

In order to eliminate SPAM, I took initiative and started a New MODERATED DPhiE Yahoo Group [ TO REPLACE THE CURRENT GENERAL DPHIE YAHOOGROUP ] where we can share local as well as international news and reconnect. PLEASE email me at RedviXxen13@aol.com with your email address & chapter of initiation [ in order to weed out possible spammers ] if would like to be added.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DeltaPhiEpsilon1917

Hope you all take the time to reply & join!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD!!!

YITS

Did you contact Yahoo to try and get the unmodded group deleted? We had the same thing happen to our ASA group, the mod went missing and it's now full of spam. I asked Yahoo to delete it and they said only the mod could (well hello mensa, if I could get in contact w/ the mod, why would I ask you). The problem is the unmodded one is the one that always comes up in a search.

If you have any luck doing that, let me know.

I've had this problem, too. Yahoo will NEVER delete the group. And as long as spammers are posting, it'll live on forever.

My advice: In the old group, set up a monthly recurring calendar event & make sure to set a reminder. This event should say something like "If you're looking for DPhiE conversation, please join [new yahoogroup]. This yahoogroup is currently unmoderated and is the target of spammers." And then I usually add "This message will be automatically sent every month."

Good luck w/ your new group! And if you can, please post a note inviting everyone to the SororityAlumnae (formerly "Panhellenic") yahoogroup (link in my sig).
