I don't really know anything about what they are like, but they are 
famous.  When I looked them up and saw that they did their singing on 
Monday nights, I thought you must be one of them!  Now I know better.  To 
be honest, the name "Whiffenpoof" sounds really gay to me (probably 
because of "poof" which is British slang), not that there's anything wrong 
with that!  ;-)

Interesting.  I wonder if Harvard has as many secret societies as Yale. 
Yale Russian Chorus sounds way cooler than Whiffenpoof.
