Sporting events are there for those who are interested, but I definitely wouldn't consider the school to be very sports oriented. Students spend more free time with their organizations, friends, going to different events on the weekends.
It definitely has the southern vibe but is not necessarily entirely southern. Greek life tends to have the southern feel but no one feels like they need to only eat biscuits and gravy. It is a happy medium for me because you meet people from all over.
