Seven GroupMe Guidelines

Keep these expectations in mind whenever using our staff GroupMe.

1

Be Respectful

Avoid offensive language, personal attacks, or sarcasm that could be misinterpreted.

2

Stay on Topic

Keep messages relevant. Use DMs for side conversations.

3

Avoid Message Overload

Avoid excessive messages, memes, or GIFs. Keep student info minimal—use direct messages to provide details.

4

Use Reactions Wisely

React to messages instead of sending one-word replies like “lol” or “ok,” when possible.

5

Be Mindful of Timing

Avoid non-urgent messages late at night or early in the morning.

6

Keep It Positive

Encourage others, celebrate wins, and maintain a friendly tone.

7

Handle Conflicts Privately

Take disagreements to direct messages.
