Q:What are the different a cappella groups on campus and what are their reputations?
Anonymous
Luckily, I happen to know a lot about this. So, first of all, you should know that the vibe of groups can change year to year depending on whose in it at the time i.e. the seniors. Having said that, there are lots of groups, but the main groups are the IGCAC (Intergalactic Community of A Capella) groups. They’re all so amazing and I personally love going to all their concerts/arch sings/whatever. So…
There are all male groups…
- Jabberwocks (oldest, most likely to sing at graduation and spend a lot of alumni donation money, wear blazers)
- Brown Derbies (sing a lot of 80’s music, wear cool hats, most likely to throw a rager, always seen together)
- Bear Necessities (wear suspenders, have amazing songs aka early 00’s throwbacks, most likely to include serious twerking into dance routines)
All female groups…
- Chattertocks (basically female Jabberwocks, most likely to be mistaken for sisters, wear plaid often)
- Brown’s Tones (diversity, most likely to sing something that includes lots of riffs, the definition of fierce)
- Ursa Minors (wear black dresses, most likely to throw condoms into the audience, have current music)
And co-ed groups:
- Madrigals (no explanation necessary)
- Alef Beats (jewish group, seem like they have lots of fun, most likely to sing about Chanukah)
- Harmonic Motion (half-RISD therefore hipster, artsy AF, wear lots of leather, most likely to sing Beyonce)
- Higher Keys (sing jazzy classics, most likely to seduce the audience, seem like they would drink only champagne and wine with meals)
