The Smiffenpoofs is an a cappella group from Smith College that originated in 1936 after a group of Smithies attended a Yale picnic where the Whiffenpoofs performed. The Smithies were so impressed by the Whiffs' camaraderie and musicality that they decided to form the first women's collegiate a cappella group in the nation, modeling it after the Whiffs and adopting a similar name in their honor.

Today, the Smiffenpoofs are affectionately called the "Poofs," and their repertoire has expanded to include old favorites and contemporary hits alike. The group maintains a rigorous rehearsal schedule that is augmented by numerous performances both on- and off-campus.
