Alumni Affinity Groups vs. Interest Groups? Semantics?

    Hi everyone, 

    I posted about affinity groups previously - would still love to connect with anyone who has them up and running. 

    My questions today is, does your school have affinity groups? Are they culturally, regionally, or specialty based? If they are other than culturally based, do you call them something else? 

    The question arose that affinity should only be used for cultural and heritage groups and not any others. Would love thoughts on this! 

    Thanks!
