In the fall of 2002 seven female artists, formerly members of the Ladies In Red, joined forces with ten new singers to form the Packabelles. They made a huge leap from seven to seventeen girls and have established themselves as one of the two all female a cappella groups at NC State. The group now stands with thirteen members with fluctuations from semester to semester.

The Packabelles enjoy performing a variety of song styles. Feel free to contact the Packabelles if you are interested in having them perform at any of your upcoming events.
