Most magical Chatham moments are captured only in memory, but a lucky few are immortalized on YouTube. Here’s a list of the funny, sentimental and wildly wonderful videos that remind us why it’s great to be a Cougar.

“Chatham Glee Journey Through Orientation”

It’s the first day of orientation: with a dorm key tucked in your pocket and a “What Would Rachel Carson Do?”  bracelet on your wrist, you enter the Chapel for your welcome into the Chatham sisterhood. This video from Orientation 2010 is proof that our school is filled with magical people.

“The Haunting of Chatham College”

After a week at Chatham, you’ve probably heard the ghost stories (and you might have a few of your own). Go inside the wacky wanderings of Chatham spirits in this delightfully enjoyable ghost hunter video.

“My Funny Valentine”

Each Fall, the Chatham Choir and the Hemidemisemiquavers perform in Cabaret: a fundraiser full of jazz and musical theater hits. This take on “My Funny Valentine” is spectacularly beautiful.

“Chatham Psychology Holiday Wishes”

Christmas is a long way off, but it’s never too early to re-live some Alvin & the Chipmunks perfection from the Psychology Department.

“Attack Theatre & Chatham Baroque Site/Re-site Rehearsal”

Chatham Baroque + Attack Theatre = a sweet slice of awesomeness.

“2010 Fall Serenade”

Fall Serenade: a tradition we share and a memory we treasure.

“Chatham May Pole Dance”

“More whimsy! I demand more whimsy!”

“Chatham University 2010 Reunion”

A fabulous way to appreciate the experiences we share.


“Chatham University Step-Club 2”

One seriously amazing Closing Convocation.
