Yo, SE, I’m really happy for you, and I’mma let you finish, I’mma let you finish, but New Blue right now is the best underclassman girls group of all time.

NB held auditions right away in the fall of ’69, women arrived September 15 of that year. Can’t get much earlier than that. We can call it a tie if you like, Slavs.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure only about 10 people answered these polls. Most of us listened to the SGC’s request, which you at least linked to.

ACTUALLY, the Yale Women’s Slavic Chorus was the first all-female group on campus, not New Blue. We were founded the first year women were on campus.

If anything, the two groups tie. But certainly the Slavic Chorus shares in the claim to first/oldest all female group.

Just sayin.

“This doesn’t speak well of the Bullblog or the Herald at all.”

Agreed. Especially considering that, since most a cappella members heeded the words of the Singing Group Council, your collected data is extremely biased and faulty.
This will be the last time I read the Yale Herald or Bullblog.

I’m also an A Cappella alum, and I agree that this is out of line. This isn’t informative, it’s damaging.

As does the singing group council, I strongly object to quantifying petty and subjective rankings and publishing them online. This doesn’t speak well of the Bullblog or the Herald at all.

Lolz. In the group that obviously didn’t answer the survey. I can’t believe we lost at gayness out of the girls groups. =[

This is fun though.
