Collegiate A Capella Groups

April 14, 2008 by lizagator

Did you go to college on the East Coast? No? Did you know the phenomenon that was the a capella group? No? Not familiar…Take a look…

Depending on your level of punny-ness this could equally be called “The Best A Capella Group Names” or simultaneously, “The Worst A Capella Group Names.”

University of Pennsylvania - The Penny Loafers
University of North Carolina - Clef Hangers
Michigan State University’s all male - Accafellas
Brandeis University (assumingly all male) - Voicemale
Johns Hopkins - Mental Notes
Penn - Chord on Blue
Duke - DejaBlue
Cornell and Oberlin both have - Nothing But Treble
University of Connecticut - Chordials
MIT - Chorallaries
UC Berkeley - DaCadence
CalTech - Fluid Dynamics
University of Michigan - Compulsive Lyres
Cornell - Key Elements
York University - Wibijazz’n
UC Berkeley - Artists in Resonance
Emory University -Aural Pleasure

Would also like to mention that Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) on The Office claims to have been a member of Cornell’s Here Comes Treble, while Stephen Colbert’s website of his fake history (I would have remembered him if he had actually been an anchor in Raleigh, NC) claims he was a member of the a capella group Sing Dynasty. (Perhaps the greatest name yet!).

If you need a fix, here’s an ELO medley from Tufts’ Beezlebubs

Got any better suggestions for future groups?

I went to school on the East Coast, how did I miss out? I really thought those things were just a tv joke - not real. Clearly I needed to spend more time on campus (or anytime - probably would have helped my class attendence)

Cornell seems to have 2 in that list. I wonder if they have A Capella turf wars.
