The UNC Loreleis are a student-run a cappella group consisting of 16 dedicated undergraduate women from The University of North Carolina. The group is named after the mythical siren on the Rhine River who lured sailors to their deaths with her enchanting voice. The Loreleis, a nonprofit organization active since 1981, perform for campus and community events, produce a new album every other year and tour nationally and internationally twice a year. Their repertoire includes contemporary pop, R&B, country and oldies.

Within the last few years, the Loreleis have won local and national acclaim. In October 2004, the Loreleis sang the national anthem at Yankee Stadium during the second game of the American League Championship Series.  They also performed a short concert for Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and actor and comedian Billy Crystal.  While in New York City, they visited Trump Towers where they serenaded Donald Trump.  In 2003, the group won first place at the first-ever SoJam, an a cappella competition featuring Eastern and Southeastern collegiate and professional a cappella groups. Former member Catherine Cheng won the award for Best Vocal Percussion. The Loreleis have also been featured on the CBS "Sunday Morning" show, The Today Show and Good Morning America and have been guests on North Carolina radio and television programs.
