No, Emory University is not an Ivy. The Ivy League is a coalition of eight schools (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale). Technically, the Ivy League is an athletic coalition. However, Ivies are now known as some of the world's best academic schools. When people refer to "New Ivies", they are referring to schools that are of the caliber of those in the Ivy League. Emory would probably fall in this category, but there are only eight true Ivy League schools.
