Athletics

If you crave the excitement and intensity of Division I-caliber athletics, do not come to Gettysburg. Sports are simply not a priority for most students at Gettysburg, and despite having perennially excellent men’s lacrosse and women’s field hockey teams, athletics generally fail to stir much excitement or support among the student body.

However, intramurals are a different story. They are very popular at the ‘Burg and are quite intense. Almost every student at Gettysburg ends up playing an intramural sport...
