About the Glee Club
Our Heritage
Founded by student Samuel Ward Perrott, whose auditions turned out twice the available spots, our 75-voice, all-male choral ensemble first took the stage in December 1915. You can almost see the audience leaving Washington Hall, their delighted conversation lifting swirls of breath into the crisp air. So began our enduring legend as the oldest glee club at a Catholic university.
The NDGC Today
From our four annual campus concerts to domestic and international tours, our voices carry around the world! We’ve partnered visiting artists, hosted joint concerts with other campus groups.
Join Us
We invite all male students with the gift of vocal talent to join us in carrying on the tradition of bringing song to our campus and to audiences worldwide. Your Glee Club campus experience, coupled with the opportunity for tour and travel, will be the experience of a lifetime – one that you’ll treasure long after your time here as a student has ended.

Tim Jacklich
Co-President
Tim Jacklich is a senior Political Science major from Glen Ellyn, IL. Originally a resident of O’Neill Family Hall, he now lives off campus. Though he is excited to cook for himself this year, he regrets that his kitchen lacks the Hogwarts vibe of South Dining Hall.Throughout his time in Glee Club, he has been a proud member of the bass section. It is his great honor to serve as Co-President of the Glee Club this year. He looks forward to giving back to the Club and upholding its incredible legacy this year.

Joseph Cozzi
Co-President
A senior Physics in Medicine major from Elmhurst, IL, Joseph is thrilled to serve as Co-President of the Glee Club. During his final year, he will be living on campus as an RA in Knott Hall (Kings in the North). Unlike Tim, Joseph has absolutely no cooking skills and is more than happy to eat dining hall food. Joseph has sung bass in Glee Club since his first week of college. He is honored to be given the opportunity to lead the group during the 2019-2020 year and cannot wait to continue performing with his brothers in song.
