[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake has had a heavy NJ/NY contingent for a long time, not just recently.

My friends there were from many places, not just the south.[/quote]

Why did our tour guide talk so much about the chapel as the center of school? He kept making it seem like a religious school or something…[/quote]

It is the most prominent and recognizable building on campus.

Wake cut ties with the Baptist Church years ago, but it did start that way-where do you think Deacons comes from?

That said, the Chapel is mostly used for large school gatherings. I saw Maya Angelou speak there. I saw a night line episode shot there. They have used it as the site of presidential debates. Shoot, Dave Matthews Band played in there while I was a student!

Fwiw, I did find the student body a little more churchy than I expected in the 90s. That said, other than the one required religion class, that was the only thing that was unavoidable.

They did still use the chapel for a Sunday service back then, but I assure you that there isn’t pressure to participate. Most kids are sleeping off their hangover on Sunday morning [/quote]
