About
Since the group’s founding in 1946, touring has always been a defining characteristic of the Krokodiloes. Traveling within the United States during the academic year is commonplace for the Krok journeyman, but it is during the spring and summer months that touring becomes a truly global activity.

The Kroks are rooted in the Hasty Pudding Club, founded in 1770 and recognized as the oldest collegiate social organization in the United States. The club was built upon traditions of brotherhood, wine, and verse, a combination which led four of the more musically minded members, in 1946, to carry those traditions into the world of close harmony. Inspired by the stuffed crocodiles mounted upon the wall of the Pudding’s Upstairs Bar, these pioneering songsters adopted the Greek word for crocodile, and the Krokodiloes were born.
