A Capella

Part of Mount Holyoke culture is a capella and to prove it, I'll list the a capella groups in our school...

First, we have the V8s, more formally known as the Victory Eights. They are the oldest continuing female collegiate a capella group in the history of the world nation. This is their 70th year (whoo!), and they are my personal favorite.
Next there are the M&Cs, short for Milk and Cookies, another tradition here at Mount Holyoke.
Third is Nice Shoes, a feminist a capella group that features songs about saving the world and such. They also have the best name of all the a capella groups in the history of the world. I feel compelled to join them because of that.
Fourth, Sacred Symphonies is the school's Christian gospel a capella group which I find fascinating.
Fifth, we have the Diversions who claim to have been lumberjacks at one point in their history (?). Not sure if that holds up, but they continue to don flannel shirts.
Sixth (whoah!) is MHC RAAG, the newest a capella group at Mount Holyoke that features 'South Asian fusion.' This is their second semester as a formal a capella group.

So there we have it! Six groups, and plenty of a capella to go around!
