== Traditions ==
Here are some traditions of Williams a capella cappella in general (specific group traditions are on group pages).
=== Auditions ===
Because of the number of a capella cappella groups that all wish to recruit primarily freshmen, at around the same time (at the start of the fall, starting with the [[Purple Key Fair]]), auditions for all a capella cappella groups are usually held in two weeks. Audition times overlap, but applicants choose time slots and are given enough choices that they may try for all the groups they wish.
When applicants to groups are called back to multiple groups, they rank their order of preference of the groups they are trying for. If accepted by multiple groups, this ranking will determine which they join. It is unknown for a person to be a member of more than one a capella cappella group concurrently.
