No Strings Attached, often referred to as "NSA" or "No Strings", is an all-male a cappella group from Emory University. They were the first a cappella group at Emory and are the only all-male ensemble.

History
NSA was formed in the Spring of 1994 when four students decided to perform at an "Open Mic Nite”, at Emory. At that time, there were no a cappella groups at Emory, and most of the groups that performed at Open Mic Nite were bands. With only their voices to boast, the four students thought it would be appropriate to name their group "No Strings Attached." Their first songs were simple, but they were instant successes. The informal quartet, led by founder Jason Hardy, decided to turn their group into a school sanctioned organization.

The next fall, NSA announced auditions, and over 40 students came. The group chose talented students who led NSA for the next four years, and though the founding members graduated, their mission, "To instill school spirit at Emory" is kept alive to this day.

As NSA established itself on campus, the surrounding Atlanta area took note. The group has performed at Turner Field, the Buckhead Estate, the Buckhead Theatre, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and performance venues throughout the city.

No Strings has taken international trips to Italy, Japan, Panama, and the Netherlands, serving as ambassadors from Emory University by singing at schools, restaurants, and concert halls.
