Email Lists

We have two alumni mailings lists. As of Fall 2025, both are hosted by Brown via listserv. The best way to reach the ALs is by emailing brownbandals@gmail.com.

CHECK YOUR SPAM FOR EMAILS! Gmail likes to mark messages from Brown listserv as spam. It is very important that you mark our emails as not spam to receive them in your inbox. We also recommend setting a filter to ensure that they don't get sent to spam in the future (see below).

The Mass List

This is the most important list. This is where we send the big updates that you will not want to miss, such as information about alumni games, commencement, and fundraising. Emails are less frequent than the weekly list. If you only wish to be on one list, this is the one to be on.

Subscribe or unsubscribe (we'll miss you!) to the list with this link.

The Weekly List

This is for regular updates on the band's adventures. Emails are usually weekly during the football and hockey seasons, but will tend to slow down during breaks and later into the spring semester. We recommend being on both this one AND the everything list because we will not send the full details of events to the weekly list. Subscribe if you want the most recent news on how we're doing!

Preventing Emails from Going to Spam (Gmail)

To always prevent these emails from going to spam, you can create a filter in Gmail.

First, go to Settings > See all settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses

Then, click "Create a new filter"

In the FROM field, put brownbandals@gmail.com

Then, click "Create filter"

On the next screen, select "Never send it to Spam" and then click "Create filter" to confirm.

This will prevent all emails sent from the AL email from going to spam. There may also be some automated emails from listserv that will also go to spam. You can add a filter to prevent this the same way as before, but with the FROM field as listserv@listserv.brown.edu.
