Purduettes

The Purduettes are the primary all-female choral ensemble of Purdue University. Formed in 1942, the group typically consists of 50-60 undergraduate collegiate women, and performs a variety of jazz, gospel, and swing songs.[1] Similar to the all-male Purdue Varsity Glee Club, the Purduettes are housed within Purdue Musical Organizations, wear matching attire, employ student leadership, and feature smaller groups of members known as Specialites that perform during shows. The group is a featured ensemble annually in the Purdue Christmas Show, and in 2017 the Purduettes celebrated their 75th anniversary. Roughly every 4–5 years the Purduettes tour internationally, most recently to Costa Rica in 2015, and were planned to travel to Italy in spring 2020.
