Boston University Dear Abbeys
The Dear Abbeys (officially, The Boston University Dear Abbeys) is an all-male a cappella group from Boston University consisting of current Boston University students, typically undergraduates. Founded in 1992, the Dear Abbeys won the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) competition in April 2005.
Within the collegiate a cappella genre, the Dear Abbeys have been recognized as a group that is "located in the traditional epicenter of collegiate a cappella." Furthermore, since their inception, the singers have gained a reputation in the Greater Boston area for "their energetic style of live performance, which blends musical precision with a lighthearted stage presence...."
In addition to regular appearances at Boston University's Charles River Campus and throughout the state of Massachusetts, the Dear Abbeys have travelled within the United States to promote the a cappella genre as well as K-12 music education.

“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
