[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago, Northwestern, JHU, and Emory, the self labeled 'ivy plus' schools by DCUM strivers.[/quote]

+1. Ivies are soooo overrrated... so we created a term for schools that are TOTALLY just as if not MORE elite and we called it IVY plus. lol[/quote]

You all are so misinformed it’s embarrassing. Ivy Plus was coined by Ivy League schools themselves and is used in a limited, official capacity when discussing library exchanges, consortia, faculty conferences, you name it. It’s also a term used by Ivy League alumni associations for networking purposes. Example: http://rmhuc.clubs.harvard.edu/article.html?aid=265

"This consists of little more than a e-mail list that connects officers of the member alumni organizations.  You will find no link to a home page here, because they do not have a website.  In fact, there have been no organizational meetings since March, 2009."

LOL

That was literally from a 10 second Google search, and it still proves it’s an actual term. But because I know you’re itching for me, here are a few more examples from yet another quick search:
