According to the Huffington Post, UVA now has the dubious honor of being ranked the preppiest university in the country.
Granted, both the definition of the term ("If they play lacrosse, wear boat shoes, and bring a date to a football game, they’re preppy") and the metrics used to evaluate UVA seem a bit spotty. UVA is cited for student references to "the quad" as "the Lawn" (these fellows don’t look too preppy) and the center of Greek life as "Rugby Road."
HuffPo clearly took a note from last year’s preppy rankings to heart. In 2010, a William & Mary alum wrote, "You missed a gold mine! UVa! At William and Mary, we have ‘Dress like UVa For A Day,’ when layered, popped polos and pearls are mandatory."
