Where should i look for schools?

I am looking for a school with good school spirit and a popular football team. I was super interested in SEC schools but i think the southern culture, gameday outfits, greek life and things like that are too over the top for me. I still want to be in a sorority but i dont want it to be something the school is solely centered around and am looking for a school somewhat easy to get into but not something like 99% acceptance rate (still has a good reputation).

:)

Penn State has a great football team and a pretty good reputation. It is also relatively easier to get into than other colleges.
