[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Sewanee super southern in terms of culture? And how about school spirit?[/quote]

I wouldn't call it "super southern," but it attracts a lot of private school kids from the big southern metros, particularly Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Richmond, Birmingham, Jacksonville, and DFW. Most class years have nearly all 50 states represented, though, plus 15 or more countries. It's more geographically diverse than Rhodes, Furman, or Centre (the southern LACs generally though of as its closest peers).

As for school spirit, it's D3, so the sports scene isn't what you'd find at an SEC school, though the football games are big social events. That said, alumni are insanely loyal to the school and love their alma mater. The alumni giving rate is very high, to the point that it hurt Sewanee in the rankings when USNWR removed it from its formula.[/quote]

Sewanee is Episcopal. That may just be the “secret sauce.”[/quote]

Sewanee was a founding member of the SEC and, in theory, would have the right to return to the conference if they elevated back to D1.[/quote]
