Discord
Discord is a platform that allows users to create servers that function as text, video, and voice chat spaces with highly customizable channels. While the platform was initially designed for gaming, it has become extremely popular across a wide range of demographic populations and is a common choice for communication within student groups. However, because the platform is so feature-rich, it does have a steeper learning curve than many of the other internal communication options.

Remind Texts
Remind is a service that allows users to send text message reminders to multiple recipients at once. While this service is great for reminding members about upcoming meetings and events, it does not allow for group communication between members. So, it is best to pair Remind with another platform that allows for group communication to help build community in your student group.
