New Directions Girls

The **New Directions' Girls** is the group of girls within New Directions. They are not a separate glee club, but they are often separated from the boys for "girl power" numbers such as *Halo/Walking on Sunshine*, *Express Yourself* and *Start Me Up/Livin' on a Prayer*. Tina, Rachel and Mercedes were there since the founding of New Directions, Quinn, Santana and Brittany joined in Showmance, and Ash joined in Vitamin D. Kurt was also sometimes considered as one of the New Directions' girls and often tried to join their group in gender-split mashup competitions. However, he was usually sent back to the boy's team by Will.

Mercedes, Santana and Brittany leave during the early part of Season Three to join The TroubleTones with Shelby Corcoran as the director. Sugar, originally rejected from the New Directions, was the cause of Shelby's group. She later joins the New Directions when Mercedes, Santana and Brittany rejoin. Rachel, Mercedes, Quinn and Santana all graduated in Goodbye, therefore not being in Glee Club anymore. Brittany left the New Directions in All or Nothing, after an early admission into MIT, graduating during her second senior year. Sugar has not been seen in the New Directions for unknown reasons after the same episode. Ash and Tina graduated in New Directions, while the club was disbanded due to budget concerns. One year later, Rachel donates money to reboot the glee club and Jane and Madison become the first two female members. Kitty rejoins in The Hurt Locker, Part Two.

Others were a part of the group for a short time in the past, including April Rhodes and Sunshine Corazon.

* The second three members (Quinn, Santana and Brittany) auditioned together and joined in Showmance.
* Of the third three members to join (April, Ash and Sunshine) only Ash lasted the episode still being a member.
* All of the members until Season Three, except Tina and Sugar, have been in a romantic relationship with Puck.
* Four out of seven girls in Season One had a relationship with Finn Hudson. Quinn dated Finn but they broke up because Finn found out Puck was the father of Quinn's baby. Rachel and Finn have kissed several times while he was still dating Quinn. In Hell-O, Rachel thought she was dating Finn, but Finn resisted. Also in Hell-O, Finn went on a date with both Brittany and Santana. In The Power of Madonna, Finn had sex with Santana.

	+ Rachel, Santana and Tina are the only girls to have a solo in a competition.

* At one point, Ash, Tina and Quinn were the only girl members in the club. Due to Mercedes, Santana and Brittany joining the TroubleTones and Rachel being suspended. If Shelby had accepted Quinn's offer of joining the TroubleTones, then Ash and Tina would have been the only two left. Coincidentally, they joined the TroubleTones in the 2012 Nationals.
* So far, New Directions girls have never surpassed having 9 members. At the beginning of each year, there have always been less than 8 members.
	+ **First Year:** seven members (Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, Quinn, Santana and Ash)
		- They all auditioned and got accepted.
	+ **Second Year:** eight members (Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Brittany, Quinn, Santana, Ash, Sunshine)
		- Sunshine auditioned and was accepted but she left the club to join Vocal Adrenaline.
	+ **Third Year:** five members (Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, Brittany and Ash)
		- Quinn left the club but did return later, Santana was briefly kicked out of the club, while Sugar joined after the TroubleTones lost Sectionals.
	+ **Fourth Year:** six members (Tina, Brittany, Ash, Marley, Sugar and Unique)
		- Rachel, Quinn, Santana and Mercedes graduated, while Marley was accepted after she auditioned. Unique transferred to be at McKinley, and Kitty later joined the club.
		- At the beginning of the fifth season, since it continued the same year, there were five members and it is seen that Sugar quit while Brittany graduated early after All or Nothing. Because of the lack of members for the 2013 Nationals, two unknown Cheerios joined the club but left after the competition, as they were filling places. Ash and Tina graduated in New Directions, while the club was being disbanded due to budget concerns.
	+ **Fifth Year:** During this whole period, the club was still disbanded. Marley and Unique were transferred to other schools by Sue. Kitty was not transferred.
	+ **Sixth Year:** two members (Madison and Jane)
		- Kitty refused to rejoin the glee club after being mistreated by Artie and the rest of the original group, while Jane was originally a student at Dalton Academy, but, when she was not accepted to be a part of the Warblers, she was transferred to McKinley. It's implied that Jane did not need another song to audition since she rehearsed *Tightrope* with Rachel helping her. Madison joined (along with her brother) after singing *Home*. Kitty rejoined the glee club just in time at Invitationals.
* In Season Three, Santana was featured in every New Directions Girls number.
* Not including Rachel who was suspended from the 2011 Sectionals, Quinn is the only member of the New Directions Girls never to have lost Sectionals.
	+ Mercedes, Santana, Brittany and Sugar lost Sectionals in Season Three.
	+ Ash, Tina, Marley, Kitty and Unique lost Sectionals in Season Four and Nationals in Season Five.
