<p>I've heard it doesn't really exist. can anyone comment? how well-attended are the sporting events? how was homecoming, etc?</p>
<p>Chicago is not a sports oriented school. School spirit is expressed in other ways, such as its sense of humor, commitment to intellectual excellence, and of course scav hunt.</p>
<p>love the last post-</p>
<p>My high school is really sports oriented, its about time for some change in college.</p>
<p><3 damn I love chicago <3</p>
<p>There is also school spirit in the way that every student has a U. of C. shirt - and many wear the "Where fun comes to die" ones. They like the fact that one has to work very hard here, as opposed to schools with big names. . .</p>
<p><em>drum roll</em></p>
<p>katharos, have you seen the "where the only thing that goes down is your GPA" shirts? I really wanted to get one on my visit, but couldn't find them.</p>
<p>"Where the only thing that goes down is your GPA".</p>
<p>Isn't there another one that says, "Where the squirrels are prettier than the girls."
Doesn't that mean that something else would be going down too :-P</p>
<p>school spirit is definitely going up, check out <a href="http://hype.uchicago.edu%5B/url%5D">http://hype.uchicago.edu</a></p>
<p>self-deprecation is one form of 'school spirit' but for those who are attracted to the traditional kind of college community spirit, don't write off uchicago yet. from what i hear, the administration and active like-minded members of the student body are slowly working on it.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>I have not seen the "Where the only thing that goes down on you in your GPA" shirts. They are notorious, but perhaps everyone is afraid to wear them.</p>
<p>I have seen both of the "squirrels" shirts, which are hilarious. That is how things are, though, sad as it may be. The girls are not especially good-looking, and the guys are too shy.</p>
<p>shy like I am.....finally, a place where i can fit in</p>
<p>i like shy guys, eric. giggle.</p>
