They too, sadly, wear silly hats - but they also like to mention that they had a member of the Class of 2000 playing professional baseball for a time.

MIT may be part of this IVY+ technology group, but it ain't Ivy League. REAL Ivy schools have pretend athletic teams in order to give their alums an excuse to wear silly hats and get drunk on autumn Saturday afternoons. Oh, I see MIT does too.... welcome aboard, Engineers! - hibricc, Brown'87 :-) bah. MIT may be part of this IVY+ technology group, but it ain’t Ivy League.

Both Stanford and MIT are considered Ivy by those in academia. Don't get MIT folks started on Harvard - that rivalry is older than the one between the Red Sox and the Yankees! MIT was almost bought out by Harvard in the early 1900s, but it was thanks to MIT alumni who raised funds to keep it from becoming part of Harvard. MIT is part of IVY+.
