[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really strange to see expression of school spirit or pride as a negative. It's evidence of a good community. It's a good thing when alumni love their college. It's a good thing when the school's network is strong. It's not "cocky" to be proud of your college. It's a pretty normal thing...unless you went to a school that didn't have much school spirit. UVA grads (and Tech grades, for that matter) are a lot like grads from where I went to school. Super proud, wear the school gear, get together for watch parties, hope our kids consider it when their time comes, etc. [/quote] Except it’s not exactly school spirit. That would be too pedestrian for UVA. It’s not so much “I love my school so much!”, it’s more “People are impressed by my connection to my school, which is really hard to get into and does a lot of things a little differently than the rest.” - an alum [/quote]
