Androgyny Since 1998 Androgyny has been Davidson College's foremost (and only) co-ed a cappella group. Having released two CDs (Everything but the Piano in 2003 and The Acapocalypse in 2006), Androgyny is developing into one of the premier music groups on campus. Their mix of 80's jams, old time rock and roll, and the occasional country or pop hit energizes audiences, and has solidified Androgyny's place as a fan favorite.
