The Colgate Thirteen

The Colgate Thirteen

The Colgate Thirteen is an a cappella group of Colgate University undergraduate male students. Founded in the 1940s, the group is commonly known as the university's "ambassadors of good will." They give some 50 concerts per semester and have performed at such venues as Super Bowl XIII and the "Tonight Show".

The Thirteen name is derived from Colgate's history. The institution which was to evolve into Colgate University was chartered in 1819 as the "Baptist Society of the State of New York," founded by "13 men with 13 prayers, 13 dollars and 13 articles." Thus, "13" is a very meaningful and good number for Colgate.
