Club Mission

The Pennchants are the University of Pennsylvania's premier all-male, ass-kicking, name-taking a cappella group.

A highly professional student-run group that balances touring, recording, and high-profile performances, the Pennchants have earned widespread recognition as a group that delivers fresh energy and never fails to win over audiences' hearts with their distinct blend of pop, rock, and the songs of our childhood. The members pride themselves on their innovative concerts, iconic brand, and close sense of community. It's truly a group that does it all. 

The Pennchants perform one large-scale concert per semester, collaborating with their sister group, The Quaker Notes, in the fall. The Pennchants are also known for their hands on start-to finish production process, giving new members the opportunity to learn video and audio editing from senior members.

The Pennchants are officially sponsored by the MEMBERS ONLY brand.

Question: What makes The Pennchants unique? - Anonymous

Oh man, quite a bit! We're the premier all-male group on campus, we are the only a cappella group at Penn (and quite possibly the country) sponsored by a clothing brand, Members Only. We try to film music videos every year or so, and we have won national awards for some of our videos. We also care a lot about service to our community. What makes us most unique though is the community you join. The Pennchants are an insanely close group of guys.

Question: How do you get the arrangements you perform? - Evan Bean

All arrangements are written and produced by our members! If you've never arranged before, or you don't want to arrange, that's totally fine! Our members will often teach younger members how to arrange or will completely arrange songs for other members. It's up to you!
