Code:

    verb
        Invite(mob/M in world)
            switch(alert(M,"Would you like to join [src]'s crew?","Crew Invite")in list("Yes","No"))

                if("Yes")
                    M.crew = src.crew
                if("No")
                    return


Problem description:Trying to create a verb to invite someone to a party, so to speak. This is what I have so far, and right now, it's not popping up. Any help?

You are actually using alert() incorrectly, took me a moment to notice this.

switch(alert(M,"Would you like to join [src]'s crew?","Crew Invite","Yes","No"))
    if("Yes")
        src<<"[M] has accepted!"


That should fix your problem. As a heads up, you will want to add checks to make sure they are not in the group, or the group hasn't filled once the player accepts. Also, I wouldn't save that variable if I were you. Saving MOBs causes savefiles to become corrupted.

Also note that switch() isn't necessary for alert()s (and input()s) with only two options. A simple if/else (just if() in this case) would do fine.
if("Yes" == alert(M, "message", "title", "Yes", "No"))
    src << "blah blah"
