The New Blue of Yale
SSAA
The New Blue was founded in 1969, the same year that Yale first admitted undergraduate women—making us not only Yale's first all-women's a cappella group, but also the first women's organization of any kind on campus. Since 2020, we’ve been honored to sing with women as well as nonbinary and gender-expansive students, and we are excited to continue singing with all SSAA folks this year. All the songs in The New Blue’s repertoire are self-arranged, either by current or past members of the group, and includes everything from haunting folk music, to jazz and blues, to today’s radio hits. We hail from a rich musical history dating back 50 years, and we hope to always proudly stand (and sing!) as a living symbol of change at Yale.
