Board History

The Whim Alumnae Association (and Board) was established in 1996 to ensure the stability and longevity of Whim 'n Rhythm - Yale's premier senior women's a cappella singing group. The board obtained CT incorporation and 501(c)3 tax-exempt status, and established an endowment with a gift from the class of 1996. The board serves as a liaison between the current group, the alumnae network, Yale leadership and the greater Yale community.
