I would disagree because there are def distinct crowds in UVa. Compared to Duke, UVa has alot more minorities and alot less rich people at the school. For example, first year dorms, old dorms, were generally white, rich, popped collars. New dorms, were more minorities, whites, lower income, everyone else. The old dorms crowd usally hangs together, while other people chill in their own groups. It really depends who u see, know, and where you hangout on campus.

In regards to the football games, its less collar popping and more dressing up. Girls: sundress, guys: slacks shirt tie. I am sure you all have heard, it is traditional to dress up for the football games. Back in the day it was a social event and the guys would bring dates to football games. UVa isnt the only school that dresses up, I want to say Alabama but I could be wrong, but other southern schools do as well. First couple times I went to games I was def like wtf is this, but I have gotten over it. Coach Al Groh has started this "orange fever" thing with t-shirts and stuff, to make the crowd more intimidating, so now less people dress up. Regardless, I actually think that people dressing up thing is somewhat refreshing, because its different and traditional. Now people dress up to games, and get hammered, so that is the real fun. I honestly could care less if the person next to me is dressed up, as long as she/he is a UVa fan and we are both hammered I am happy.

I think alot of times people go to the games and are shocked because they have never seen anything like that, or they know the local preppie guy who went to UVa and is a total douche, but there are def alot of people that are diff. Like 90% of my dorm would not fall into that popped collar group, just an example.
