Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Muhlenberg’s sports teams, despite their many accomplishments, do not get the attention they often deserve. Although students are usually pretty good at supporting their peers at some games, it is unlikely to find a big crowd at most. Students who are on a sports team are there for their own amusement or to keep in shape. And the spectators who come on a regular basis are usually friends, some family, and student writers for the Muhlenberg Weekly. But this does not mean that “the Mules” are inactive or unsuccessful. They get to compete regularly in the Centennial Conference along with Bryn Mawr, Dickinson, Franklin & Marshall, Gettysburg, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore, Ursinus, Washington and Lee, and McDaniel. Also, they are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Division III and Eastern College Athletic Conference.

Although sports do not receive the greatest amount of recognition, the students involved with them really enjoy them. Muhlenberg’s athletes do not join a team expecting to always play in front of a lot of spectators. They play for their own personal enjoyment and they love being a part of a team. However, students are not completely unaware of the campus’s sports community. The Muhlenberg Weekly always has a few articles that summarize the various accomplishments of most teams.

This Is Worth a Read (Everything)

Students are very involved in campus activities (Hillel, frisbee, Student Government, Class Activities council, Tourguides, Theatre, etc., clubs, and community service, and greek life (starts as a sophomore) are all available options on campus. I for instance, am secretary of Campus EMS.

The sports teams are quite a dissapointment, but the intense academic rigor certainly makes up for that.

Most students are extremely fun, loving, yet hard working, and affluent. Everyone is always smiling, eager to engage in social activities with their friends. I have yet to meet someone who is not friendly, helpful, or decietful. It is true that students carry alot of confidence and class in all of their, encounters, obligations, academics,and activities. The women at this girl are generally the type "Males pick from to bring home to mama."

There is something to be said for the way the this tight knit community cares for its stuents and their wellbeing. At other larger selective institutions that my friends attend, they were in awe when they saw the pamphlets for parents coping with separation anxiety after dropping their children off at the start of the semester. One once said, "What? They never do this at my school. You learn to either sink or swim. If you sink... well... atleast they have you're money." Ironically, their $50,000 tuition is higher than mine, yet mine is not far behind.. On the first day of my freshman seminar, we unexpectedly were invited to a barbecue on the presidents lawn. His cute dog prawled around on the lawn while he introduced himself and made an effort to speak to every single student. The students were able to enjoy the signature Muhlenberg Cookies with refreshing lemonade. Its unlike any other college experience, definitely in a good way.

The amenities (Especially the dining hall/ gym/Library/ lecture halls) are beautiful and state of the arc, each night at 6pm the duration of the bells are the longest. The chimes coupled with the sunset relinquishs the old charm and welcomes further future improvements.

There is alot of school spirit, but mostly people just like to be comfortable. Suprisingly enough, it is unusual to see someone that is not well kept or well dressed (definitely not a sweatpants school).

In terms of Student Admissions, this school is no "Safety." Since 2009, admissions have become even more selective. The education that is offered is top notch, as most people from all parts of the United States become well acqauinted with Muhlenberg, the publicity pushes it up in the rankings. Overall, if you are not a serious student GPA 3.75/ SAT atleast 600 on all sections/ alot of community involvement (Admission into Muhlenberg will certainly not be a gaurantee.)

There's Definitely School Spirit

At all of the football games, you see a crowd of Muhlenberg students dressed from head to toe in school gear.. but its nothing like a big state school. If you have friends on the team, you're more likely to go. Teams advertise games in Parents Plaza near Seegers, but a lot of people choose not to go.

Most Popular Sports

Women's basketball, football, and men’s soccer are among the most popular varsity sports on campus. And, although it is not an organized sport, Ultimate Frisbee is also very popular.

Most Overlooked Teams

The men’s golf team has won four Centennial Conference championships in the 17 years the program has existed—more than any other sport on campus. But there are usually fewer than 10 people on the team; they only have one home meet during their season, and golf generally is not spectator friendly. So, oftentimes, this team goes unnoticed.

School Spirit

Although games do not always get the best turnout, the students who do attend always arrive with a healthy dose of spirit. In fact, most Muhlenberg students are known to have a lot of school pride, whether it be for sports, theater, or academics. Just about every student owns either Muhlenberg-themed clothing or accessories, and the school never has a problem finding students who want to be tour guides or to be student advisers for incoming freshmen.

Getting Tickets

Tickets for sports games are free for students.
