[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Disagree that school spirit is only found in D1 schools. Yes, athletic events is a big way that 'spirit' is formed, but the other big way is a school steep in traditions. Rice is a great example. Also Dartmouth. Neither are big sports 'rah rah' schools but they have a huge amount of school spirit through their regular drumbeat of school traditions.[/quote] +1. My SLAC had tons of school spirit - traditions, community organizations throughout campus, events that happened each year on campus, legacy parents/grandparents, a very strong honor code. Yes, we had sports but Homecoming was really the only game you ever went to, and it was fun. I always tell my kids I would go back in a heartbeat. [/quote] I wouldn't call that school spirit. Others might but I wouldn't. I went to a liberal arts college and loved it. So, did most of my friends. However, the "spirit" level is nowhere close to Michigan, etc.[/quote]
