My school is best known for its exuberant, vibrant pep band known as The Green Machine and its rivalry with George Washington University. Historically speaking, Geoge Mason and George Washington didn't see eye to eye politically. George Mason approached policies anti-federally and felt the need to pen the Virginia Declaration of Rights at the wake of the U.S. Constitution. It's for these reasons among others that the statue of George Mason at the Fairfax campus faces directly opposite of the Washington Monument, which is twelve miles away due east in Washington, D.C.
