Calling all Grammarians

Specifically, my aunt, I suppose. I heard a phrase the other day which, while it might be grammatically correct, struck me as nonsensical/a logical impossibility and would appreciate anyone who might like to either confirm my analysis or point out where I've gone wrong.

The phrase: "...a group of individuals..."

My problem with this is simple, if they are members of a group, how can they still be individuals?
