The Accidentals is the first of Vassar's two current all-male a-cappella groups, founded in 1980. It has rotating membership with new members auditioned as old members graduate. The Axies usually perform for dorm dinners, campus parties and Founder's Day, as well as singing at other colleges and Alumni House. These travels usually include a spring-break trip somewhere southern like Florida. They also hold three major concerts a year: an a-cappella jam with all of the other groups on campus, a post-holiday concert with guest groups from other schools and a post-road trip concert with guest groups.

Founded in 1998, Alive is a Christian a cappella group dedicated to to arranging and singing everything from contemporary Christian pop to gospel. Off-campus events have included singing at local churches, colleges, and attending the annual Gospel Jam. On-campus, Alive sings for various Christian groups and events, including Christian Fellowship, the Protestant Worship community, and the annual Lessons and Carols service. A major project every year is co-sponsoring the Agape Cafe with Christian Fellowship.

Matthew's Minstrels is a co-ed a-cappella group that was founded in 1978 and has since provided Vassar with 25 years of fun music. The Minstrels sing a wide variety of music ranging from 50's doo-wop to jazz to your favorite tunes of the 80's and 90's. Matthew's Minstrels perform up to two major concerts a year on campus, and when invited, off campus. They also perform for dorm study breaks and special events upon request. Renowned for their interspersing splices of humor in their music making, Matthew's Minstrels is a highly entertaining and popular group. Quoting a fan, "There's just no one like the Minstrels!" Audition is required for membership.

Measure 4 Measure is one of Vassar's all-female a cappella groups. It was started in 1981 by a few of the Vassar Night Owls. The two groups are still in operation though in recognition of their common past, they try to maintain good relations. Each semester, M4M has at least one concert but in the past has had two in the last school semester. They usually invite other schools to sing at these functions and are themselves often invited to other schools to sing. M4M has a tradition of singing contemporary music and their repertoire contains songs that are intricately arranged. That is one of their trademarks. They sing often and well and are occasionally paid to do so. Membership is by audition.

The Night Owls are the nation's oldest continuing all-female a-cappella group. They were founded in 1942 when a plague struck campus that had everyone quarantined at night. A few brave women snuck out of their dorms and met in the basement of the library to sing into the night. They function now to arrange, rehearse, perform and record a-cappella music for the Vassar community and abroad. They perform at least two concerts a year and invite other college groups to perform with them. They also travel abroad to sing and compete in tournament. They have been invited to sing at both of Clinton's inaugurations. They are quite a spectacular group with a rich history. Their repertoire is mainly from the 20's but not exclusively. Membership is by audition.

Premium Brew is one of the last bastions of all male barbershop music still breathing in this world of contemporary acapella. Only half of the repertoire is barbershop music, while the other half is a melange of oldies music that can be most easily defined as "good." Premium Brew was founded way back in 2002 by five guys with dreams, the dreams were all different and subsequently Premium Brew is the end result. Today Brew consists of a membership of a non bakers dozen of Vassar men who all have a love for music, Barbara, and French culture.

"Vassar Devils" is synonymous with quality in every price range. This affordable a cappella group is seriously fun, and makes listeners say, "pour me more!" It's succulent and juicy, bursting with black cherry and raspberry flavors, yet sports enough power and complexity to raise an approving eyebrow...or two.
