And for the love of ourselves,
We celebrate

In loving without boundaries

We also wish to work as allies for other social justice causes that affect people not solely related to AAPI identities, in consideration of the intersectionality of oppression. As an activist group, we will host discussions and panels, work towards campaigns on and off campus, and engage with the 5 College AAPI activist community.</p>
<p>Given that approximately a quarter of Smith students identify as Asian/American/Pacific Islander we find that it is necessary to unite and recognize this large and diverse community (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian, Pacific-Islander, Multi-Racial, Multi-Ethnic, Transnational, Adoptee, etc.) while also critically looking at where these identities diverge and intersect through activism and discussion that we had previously not found in other student organizations.</p>

<p>Smith College Synchro is a club sport. As a club, we left behind the formal, old-school style of the sport and created a joyful splash-friendly synchro style that focuses on inclusivity. We are the oldest club on campus, recently celebrating our 100th anniversary!</p>

<p>While we do not go to competitions, we do put on an incredible show at the end of each semester! Each show has a unique music theme and is open to the public. We practice once a week as a full team, Thursdays from 7-9 PM, and once a week in separate groups, Tuesday or Sunday. We do warm-ups together, both on land and in the pool, and then work on our choreography. You will learn the basic sculls (swim strokes) that we use to move around, eggbeater (synchro version of treading water), how to hold your breath underwater for a while, and a variety of cool moves to practice, like helicopter, crane, and pinwheel. You will be surprised how much you can learn in a semester- most of our swimmers had never done synchro before college! We hope you join our family!</p>

Members have auditioned and shown at least some baseline singing skills, though many are not music majors or minors and you don&rsquo;t need to be excellent at reading music. If you don&rsquo;t get in, you can take Intro to Choral Singing to develop your skills and try again another semester. If you want more musical challenge, consider auditioning for the Chamber Singers as well.</span></p>

Spring semester includes the Iva Dee Hiatt Spring Oratorio, where we collaborate with other college choirs to sing major choral works; Rally Day, where the college celebrates seniors in spectacular hats and we sing Gaudeamus Igitur; and the commencement concert, for which seniors pick favorite songs from their time in Glee.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because this org is both large and old (founded in the 1880&rsquo;s!), singing in Glee slots you into a network of Smith alums who sang in Glee. They tend to be fond of current members and younger Glee alums.</span></p>

The second purpose of the yearbook is to provide alumnae with a product through which to explore their memories of Smith.

The Smith College Noteables are an A Cappella group that provides its members the opportunity
to perform, grow musically, and find a community at Smith College. The group’s repertoire is
arranged by members, giving each group of members a unique sound. As an organization that
has been around for over thirty years, the group is deeply rooted in tradition.
All repertoire is learned through listening, the group does not use sheet music. This allows
people with musical talent and interest, but with less musical knowledge or experience, to join a
performance group on campus.
The Noteables bring their passion for music and performance to Smith College to entertain their
peers; Performing at cocktail parties, SGA events, private parties, fundraisers, and several
specific performances throughout each semester all lie in the general purpose of the Noteables.

Membership Benefits
Members of the Noteables attend weekly rehearsals where we enjoy practicing our arrangements together in order to prepare for various public performance opportunities during the semester. Being in the Noteables helps members build and refine their singing, harmonizing, arranging, and performing skills. Members are welcomed into a close knit community through bonding events.

The Smiffenpoofs formed in 1936 after a group of Smithies attended a picnic where the Yale Whiffenpoofs were performing. The students were so impressed by the Whiffs' camaraderie and musicality that they decided to form the first women's collegiate a cappella group in the nation, modeling their sound after the Whiffs' and adopting a derivative name in their honor. As the story goes, on November 23rd, 1936, Smith president William Allan Neilson gave his official approval to the group, gifting them with a leather-bound journal in which to record their history.
The first group of Smiffenpoofs consisted of four seniors and four juniors, hand-picked from campus choirs by the group's co-founders, Sue Becton ('38) and Jeanne Thayer ('38). They frequently performed with the Whiffenpoofs and other emerging a cappella ensembles, up until WWII. At that time, the Whiffs went off to war and the Poofs joined the war effort as Red Cross nurses. The Poofs did not disband during this period, but continued to perform regularly in area hospitals, bringing music and good cheer to soldiers returning home.
Now, all these years later, the Smiffenpoofs have seen numerous changes. We are now one of many cappella groups on campus, and our brother group is the Brown Derbies instead of the Whiffs (though we are still pals, don't worry). That said, the aim of the group&rsquo;s founders remains intact: to expand an understanding and appreciation of vocal music to our community near and far, and to keep our level of camaraderie and harmony up to the highest standard! We still prioritize giving back to our community, and host the annual Friendsgiving Concert to benefit the Northampton Survival Center. Our repertoire still includes old favorites like Manhattan, as well as our rallying call from 1956, Softly, but we have also expanded our sound and style, hitting almost every genre of music (and even dance!). We are proud to represent Smith and welcome singers of all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and racial identities.
Today's Smiffenpoofs are honored to continue the a cappella tradition with as much pride and joy as the group's original eight, and we thank you for your interest and support!

Membership Benefits
Members rehearse and regularly perform with that group at various gigs. The Smiffenpoofs also tour and occasionally record. The group is student run, and members are able to hold board positions, including Pitch (Music Director) and Business Manager.
