On 28th and 29th March 2012 Ivy League established a new corporation called Ivy League Hall of Residence for alts of EVE University members, which opened its doors on 3rd April 2012. The catalyst behind the change was changes to the mechanics behind war declarations, which linked the cost of declaring war to the number of members in the alliance being war decced (so adding alts to Ivy League made it more expensive for people to declare war on it). Although the war dec mechanics were later changed again some members found it useful to have an alt within Ivy League, which enabled them to fly in EVE University fleets under the rules of the time, so the Hall of Residence remained open.

In June 2012 the system of Libold, a dead-end system behind EVE University's then-HQ of Aldrat, was designated as an EVE University [[Frigate FFA System|Frigate Free For All (FFA) system]]. This meant that any EVE University members in a T1 frigate in that system was game for PVP. It provided an opportunity for friendly PVP practice at minimal cost to members, since it was restricted to T1 frigates only and there was a 'no podding' rule. Its use was promoted through contests and giveaways.

The Null Sec Campus based in PC9-AY, Syndicate was under relentless assault from Cynosural Field Theory. (CFT) against it's POCOs for the entire spring. On 9 June, CFT aggression culminated in their attempted anchoring of an Astrahus on grid with the NPC station which EVE University occupied. E-Uni's planned counter assault on the anchoring citadel was openly discussed on their forum and subsequently "leaked" to Reddit. E-Uni called upon aid from The Graduates(TGRAD), Mercenary Coalition (MC) Digital Vendetta(DIVE)and WAFFLES to assist with the operation. The ensuing free-for-all resulted in elements of Pandemic Legion, which were also called to ally in the citadel destruction joining with those uninvited third party forces notified by the Reddit announcement in destroying the entire E-Uni defense fleet and allied TGRAD Hurricane battleships within minutes of its undocking. Following E-Uni leaving the field, the third parties successfully destroyed the CFT Astrahus with little resistance and the operation itself was declared a success despite [https://zkillboard.com/related/30003286/201606092000/o/%7B%22A%22%3A%5B%22150097440%5C%2F%22%5D%2C%22B%22%3A%7B%220%22%3A%22423229765%5C%2F%22%2C%221%22%3A%221000111%5C%2F%22%2C%222%22%3A%221000049%5C%2F%22%2C%223%22%3A%221000009%5C%2F%22%2C%224%22%3A%2299003699%5C%2F%22%2C%225%22%3A%221000006%5C%2F%22%2C%227%22%3A%2299004227%5C%2F%22%2C%228%22%3A%22605398057%5C%2F%22%2C%229%22%3A%2299000906%5C%2F%22%2C%2210%22%3A%2298134538%5C%2F%22%2C%2211%22%3A%2299001105%5C%2F%22%2C%2212%22%3A%2298407412%5C%2F%22%2C%2213%22%3A%22802951918%5C%2F%22%2C%2214%22%3A%2299006346%5C%2F%22%2C%2215%22%3A%2298264263%5C%2F%22%2C%2216%22%3A%221900696668%5C%2F%22%7D%7D/ heavy losses].

In December 2016 a friendly war was organised between Ivy League and RVB, called [[WinterWar 16]]. Jurius Doctor made the arrangements from the EVE University side. The 'war' was limited to a single region, which was Black Rise, including a high sec island which limited the involvement of third parties. Various events were organised over the course of the war, including brawls, new player and training events.
