Who it’s for
Every group that formed somewhere, then scattered
Alumni groups come in all shapes. What they share is a group of people who know each other well and want to stay that way — without relying on a platform built for strangers.
🎓
College Friend Groups
The dorm floor, the team, the study group that became something more. Stay connected as everyone spreads out.
💼
Former Colleagues
The team that actually liked each other. Keep in touch after the job ends, the company changes, or everyone moves on.
🏫
High School Class Groups
Organize reunions, share milestones, and keep the class connected — without a Facebook group that half the class has abandoned.
🌍
Program Alumni
Fellowship cohorts, study abroad groups, volunteer programs, or any shared experience that built real bonds.
Features
Tools built for staying close over distance
Alumni groups have a specific challenge: keeping people engaged when life is busy and everyone lives somewhere different. Degree1 is built for exactly that.
📰
Shared Group Feed
A private, chronological feed where group members share life updates, photos, and news. No algorithm burying posts — everything appears in order, and everyone sees it.
📅
Reunion & Meetup Planning
Create events for reunions, regional get-togethers, or virtual hangouts. Track RSVPs so organizers know who’s in before committing to a venue or reservation.
⭐
Picks & Recommendations
Share what you love with your group — restaurants near the reunion venue, books everyone should read, or cities worth visiting. Stays organized and searchable, unlike the group chat.
🎩
Group Gifts & Contributions
Coordinate group gifts for weddings, new babies, milestone birthdays, or farewell presents through Pass the Hat — without a separate email chain about who owes what.
Why not a Facebook group or group chat?
Most alumni groups end up in one of two places: a Facebook group that gradually goes quiet as people disengage from the platform, or a group text that works fine for immediate logistics but has no memory, no structure, and no way to plan ahead.
Degree1 gives your group a dedicated, permanent home that isn’t tied to anyone’s relationship with Facebook. New members join by invitation only — the group organizer controls who gets in. There are no ads, no public profiles, and no algorithm deciding what surfaces and what disappears. If someone posts about a milestone, everyone in the group sees it.
And unlike a group chat, Degree1 has events, RSVPs, a shared recommendations library, and group contribution tools — everything a group needs to actually stay organized over years, not just weeks.
