Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Varsity sports are all but nonexistent here, an aspect of Emory that many blame on school-wide apathy. There is no football team, and that is a portion of Emory’s overall college experience that is totally lacking—there is no unifying event that all students attend once a week. Basketball games are scantily attended, as are all other sports, despite Emory having some of the top D-III sports programs in the country. From 2003 to 2006, Emory’s tennis teams finished first in the nation. Our volleyball team won the 2008 national championships, and in 2009, the swim team finished second in the NCAA DIII championships.

For some, intramural sports make up for the overall lack of sporty school spirit here. Some students will make teams and compete with others in various sports, but for the most part the majority of the students are not interested in Emory’s athletics. Instead, many students concentrate on working out and keeping fit. Athletics don’t make a significant impact on Emory’s student life, but those who are interested can find outlets through IM sports.

Great Programs, No School Spirit

Emory's sports programs and facilities are fantastic and intramurals are popular. However, Emory students lack school spirit in regards to sports. Games and meets aren't very well attended.

Community Related Sports for Students and Athletes

The varsity sports at Emory truly reflect the passion that its students have. From track and field to volleyball and tennis, Emory's students continue to do well and due to our amazing Woodruff PE Center, we have outstanding facilities. It is a great way for either students who do not play any sports to get good exercise or for the athletes. There are always activities going on in Atlanta such as the "Color Run." These are engaging ways for people to become active and have fun at the same time. Emory's athletics truly show let its students engage in team spirit as well as college support.

Athletics Are Recreational, but Not a Priority

Emory has plenty of athletics but most students play recreationally and not seriously,

Most Overlooked Teams

Every team—athletics just aren’t that big here.

School Spirit

Emory is not a very spirited school, and there are many theories as to why this is, but the prevailing notion is that the lack of a football team gives the students no unifying enjoyment or topic of conversation. Having no sports teams to rally around hurts school spirit, as does apathetic or weak turnouts to fun events like parties, speakers, concerts, and other school events. Some blame the Greek system for segregating students, but no definite reason can be found. Nevertheless, students are proud to go here; they just have to find things other than sports, like their great education, to point to.
