Known for its elaborate arrangements, mysterious traditions, and close-knit family, Doox of Yale is one of the oldest and most ambitious a cappella groups on campus. Doox was founded in 1952 when four first-years allegedly stole a Whiffenpoofs arrangement to form their own quartet. Originally dubbed the Duke’s Men, the group has grown into a world-renowned ensemble with over 400 alumni spanning several generations. In 2017, the Duke’s Men became the first all-gender Tenor/Bass ensemble on campus, adopting its longstanding nickname “Doox” to better reflect the group’s new makeup. Throughout our seventy years of history, we’ve performed at Drew Barrymore’s personal birthday party in NYC, Kylemore Abbey in Ireland, the Steinway Club of Puerto Rico, and the White House.

We promise that every member of Doox will feel supported and have unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities! Each member is guaranteed three DooxPaid—free—tours each year, multiple features on professionally mixed and mastered albums, and a family unlike any other. From rehearsals, to hangouts and excursions, to spending weeks of winter, spring, and summer breaks together touring the world, we can’t get enough of each other.

Our repertoire includes a vast library of over 400 arrangements, including old classics, folk tunes, jazz standards, and modern hits, and members are constantly arranging new songs for us to learn. Anyone and everyone is welcome to arrange, regardless of prior experience. Recently, multiple Doox arrangements have been featured in Voices Only, a compilation album of the world’s best a cappella arrangements. We’ve also won Best Mixed Voice Recording from the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, and numerous awards from the ICCAs. Doox albums had 200k streams on Spotify in 2023 alone, and our upcoming album, “Lost and Found,” featuring the group’s newest music, will be released on August 31st!

As we approach our 73rd season, we’re incredibly excited to tour in Turkey, Greece, Italy, and coast-to-coast in the US, start our newest album, and make lifelong memories. Most importantly, we cannot wait to welcome new members to the family.
