There are different stories as to how the Ivy League name originated. Some believe it is a mispronunciation of IV League (the Roman numeral of four, referring to the first four schools in the athletic league: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth.) Others speculate it is because their tony campuses are covered in Ivy. Either way, the Ivy League is made up of eight prestigious schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and The University of Pennsylvania.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Harvard
Princeton.
The Ivy League was created as an agreement between the component schools. Therefore, they all became Ivies at once and there is no 'first' Ivy. However, of the schools that we now call the Ivies, Harvard was founded first in 1636. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
No, Ivy League Schools are all on the east coast. However, Stanford, which is in California, is a highly commended, excellent university, which rates as highly as ivy leagues on the league tables.
