Colleges are SUPER competitive with each other, especially schools within the same state. Virginia has several amazing schools, so of course they are all hella competitive. They all think they are the best, but there are definitely some that are better than others. Just like in Game of Thrones, Virginia schools all argue over who deserves to be on top. Who will win the game and sit on the Iron Throne? SPOILERS AHEAD!
Virginia Tech - House Lannister
The Lannisters currently hold the Iron Throne, just like Virginia Tech thinks they are the king of all colleges in Virginia. Their colors are even super similar! However, we all know who the REAL heir to the throne is...
University of Virginia - House Targaryen
The real heir to the throne of Westeros (aka Virginia) is of course UVA. They are the O.G. royal school, and even though they get killed in football every time they play VT, just like Jaime Lannister slayed King Aegon Targaryen, they are will always be the true King of Virginia!
James Madison University - House Baratheon
JMU sure knows how to have a good time, just like Robert Baratheon with his many whores and daily drinking festivities. JMU is also the place where you just might die because of the excessive partying. Dead, just like the Baratheon House!
Old Dominion University - House Martell
ODU, just like the Martell's, is down south near the beach. They don't really bother anyone. They're too busy getting tan and being reminded that they aren't good enough to be in any other school, I mean "house".
Christopher Newport University - House Tyrell
Just like house Tyrell, CNU is a school that just recently became popular and people usually forget about it. However, just like the Tyrells, CNU is absolutely gorgeous and is quickly becoming just as strong and powerful as other 200 year old schools in Virginia.
College of William and Mary - Maesters at the Citadel
W&M is way too smart to be any stupid house fighting for some pointless Iron Throne. William and Mary, just like the Maesters at the Citadel are the smartest and wisest in the land. They give up their lives to devote themselves to their studies. They're way too busy finding the cure to cancer or greyscale.
Virginia Commonwealth University - House Stark
VCU, like the Starks, are wholesome dudes. They don't really feel the need to be on the throne, but they are still a large top school in Virginia. They do their thing in Richmond, which like the North, is a place entirely of it's own, completely different from the rest of the state.
George Mason University - House Arryn
GMU hangs out high in their mountain tower, aka NOVA, above the rest of the state acting like they are the best because they are close to D.C. and Miley Cyrus visited their campus once. But they will never be on the top like UVA, VT, and JMU. We'll just leave them alone and keep letting them act like they're better than everyone else.
University of Mary Washington - House Tully
Just like House Tully, no one really remembers that UMW actually exists. But these are some chill dudes that don't really bother anyone. Keep being chill.
Liberty University - The Faith Militant
Like William and Mary, Liberty is not a House, but rather a group of religious fanatics. These dudes are fucking crazy. Point blank.
