    $\begingroup$ I see pairs that apply to cities: "Brotherly" + "love" = Philadelphia. "Big" + "apple" = Manhattan. "Divine" + "guidance" = Delphi? $\endgroup$

The pairs are:

divine guidance - Providence / Brown
big apple - New York / Colombia
brotherly love - Philadelphia / Pennsylvania
lower saxony - Hanover / Dartmouth
odysseus island - Ithaca / Cornell
oxford rival - Cambridge / Harvard
novel refuge - New Haven / Yale

That leaves:

Princeton

To give us:

The Ivy League.

Credit goes to humn for getting the first three pairs.
