How do I join ACK?

Interested in joining an a cappella group? Each fall, all ACK groups conduct their own rounds of auditions, open to any Penn student. This year, auditions will take place Sunday Sept 9 and Monday Sept 10. Groups will be holding auditions in various places around campus, so check this site and each group's website for the most current information. Also be sure to see all of the ACK groups perform at Freshman Performing Arts Night on Saturday, Sept 8th at 7pm in the Zellerbach theater of Annenberg! At FPAN, you'll see every group perform a number, and you'll get concrete information on auditions.

Ankit Dhir is the current ACK chair, so if you have any questions about ACK or PAC in general, feel free to contact him. His email is ack.chair@gmail.com, and he's more than happy to answer any and all of your acappella related questions.
