Trads

Formally know as the Traditions, the Trads are the premiere all-male acappella group at Macalester College. Composed of first years to seniors, they perform for campus events year round, usually with a large turn out. Some of their traditions include: - Electing the Rod, the senior head of the Trads. - Electing the Bitch, the favorite first-year member. - Drinking alcohol before performances. - Wearing tacky, plaid blazers to performances. - Picking random girls in the audience to serenade/embarrass on stage. - Performing the Bitch Song, in which the Bitch sings a clever little diddy about S&M to a girl of his choice, and is then whipped by her with a member's belt. - Just doing random things that will make you laugh, and have an overall enjoyable experience. The Traditions are well worth watching (drunk) at least once during your Macalester experience.
