Members
As of October 2011, the Dear Abbeys is composed of thirteen undergraduate members enrolled at Boston University. Because of the number of members per year, the organization has accumulated a large alumni network. After leaving the Dear Abbeys (through graduation from Boston University), some alumni have continued their musical endeavors through other non-collegiate musical groups (mostly in New England), such as the Cape Cod-based a cappella group Hyannis Sound.
Member selection is based on aspects such as musicianship, personality and performance, as judged by the standing members of the Dear Abbeys at a private audition. New members are inducted in the fall semester of each academic year, and the number of new members varies per year.
The members of the Dear Abbeys create all of the group's musical arrangements and conduct their own rehearsals, led by an executive board consisting of a president, media director, business director, treasurer, and music director.
