That’s definitely a great expression of “school spirit!” But I’d also offer that there are schools that have massive school spirit that don’t necessarily center around sports the way that some larger state schools do. W&M comes to mind. Huge networking advantage there in that everyone who goes there seems super hyped about it and their alumni are all about hooking up recent grads with good job prospects and sharing in that enthusiasm of their Alma mater. That type of school spirit is more like a recognition that the place is special and the community offers a sense of true belonging. It permeates the culture there among students and staff/faculty. And as a result, you rarely meet a W&M student or alum who is simply lukewarm in the school. They all love it intensely and I think that can definitely be classified as school spirit.
