So much in one paragraph:
The Chive’s founders, brothers Leo and John Resig, have so effectively branded a certain kind of lifestyle and identity that the membership, from giving to submitting, does most of the work itself. (Leo Resig declined to comment for this article, though he said he was a “big fan” of The Awl.) They live in Venice, California, and the site's name, by the way, is apparently a contraction of Chicago and Venice; the Resigs were born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have other interests as well: John Resig is a recurring minor character on "True Blood." Their sisters, Emily and Megan, are the editors of the sister site the Berry, which "gives ladies a much needed one-stop destination to peruse hot male celebs, funny photos, daily gossip, fashion, viral videos and adorable animals," and features an "eye candy" section of dudes in the same space where The Chive features its Chivettes. The Berry gets a bit more than 10% of the traffic of The Chive, according to Quantcast. The company's other sub-sites, The Throttle—pictures of hot cars—and The Brigade—tagline "In 'Merica We Trust," with lots of photos of guns, tanks and uniforms—skew even more male, about 80%, and are about the same size as the Berry.

this is happening in Seattle this weekend (they got Girl Talk and Washed Out!) but I've seen almost no acknowledgement in any local media. If I hadn't seen maura's tweet I'd never have known about it. (To be fair everyone's busy covering the newly opened weed stores.)

it is basically an honorary ivy iirc
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 12 July 2014 13:45 (ten years ago) link
it is certainly more "ivy" than all but approx. 2 of the actual ivies
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 12 July 2014 13:48 (ten years ago) link
but less "chivy" than any of them in my assessment
after careful consideration I would say penn noses out dartmouth as the most chivy ivy
