Singing
Buffalo Chips
The Buffalo Chips is UB's premiere all-male a cappella group founded in 1995, consisting of a dozen guys. The original members still tell tales of the first ever Valentine's Day show in February of 1996, and traditions of entertaining full houses, Rubber Duckies, and after-show party excellence dating back just as far. To this day, the Chips continue all of those traditions, and do some other stuff as well. They sing everything from rock and pop to jazz and funk. Add a dash of humor and you have a Buffalo Chips concert. The Buffalo Chips: Entertaining since 1995.
