Residence halls are also the center of social life for freshmen and sophomores, places to establish new friendships and share interests in everything from culture to sports. With teams formed by dorm, the dorms compete against each other - building dorm rivalries and dorm spirit.
Intramural sports are one of the many times a dorm comes together as a whole.
A typical fall schedule would include competition in ultimate Frisbee, football, tennis, volleyball, soccer, and basketball. The spring schedule is just as busy with more basketball, squash, swimming, tennis, and lacrosse. At the end of the year trophies go to the dormitory, independent, and greek teams with the highest point total in all of intramural competition. Additionally, students enjoy going out to the varsity athletic competitions. The teams, while division III, tend to be highly ranked, and students frequent the football, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse games.
