Have A "Straight No Chaser" Christmas--Musically That Is!

Two members of "Straight No Chaser," the hottest musical sensations of the year are Theta Chi's! Jerome Collins is a brother from Alpha Iota/Indiana University and Ryan Ahlwhardt is from Delta Kappa/Ball State University.

There Christmas album (pictured at left) is currently the #4 best selling CD at Amazon.com. You can get a copy and listen to samples here: Holiday Spirits.

Originally formed a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the a cappella group has reassembled and reemerged after their video for 'The 12 Days of Christmas' became a phenomenon with almost 8 million views on YouTube. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal- the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense...and with a sense of humor.

Thanks Brother Doug!

With television appearances in the days ahead (12/17, 8PM, TNT; 12/22, Today Show, NBC; Christmas Day, ABC & ESPN on all NBA games, for example), it'll be great to see and hear these alumni and their SNC colleagues as they bring Christmas and New Year's cheer to the nation.

Fraternally,
