College Prowler Take
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.

The soccer, baseball, and softball fields are three of the nicest sports fields I think I’ve ever seen. |

Some of the teams are very successful here, yet no one seems to care. IM sports garner more interest than Varsity. For instance, people read a weekly ranking of IM teams with more excitement than any report of Varsity sports. |

There is no football team! That is the worst thing about Emory, by far, bar none. |

School spirit is so poor that I feel bad for anyone who plays a varsity sport. There is no varsity football team, so in the fall when other schools have a unifying element on Saturdays, we have nothing. What we do have is a joke T-shirt that reads ‘Emory Football, Undefeated Since 1853.’ |

Considering we are a Division III school, varsity sports are competitive and the intramural sports reflect that. |
