Don't know about "groupies," but I've always liked the old DECUS term
"birds of a feather" [who always flock together]. After the regular
DECUS meetings, there'd always be a group of people who huddled around
in a hotel room to discuss a particular, specific topic [though I often
suspected it was just to get some of the free donuts].
