[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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:

The first link from a 1 second google search,

https://www.ivyplusnetwork.com/homepage/list_of_universities

Babson College
Boston University
Brown University
California Institute of Technology
Carnegie Mellon University
...

If the term is real, how come the list of schools keep changing.

The second link from google,

http://ivyplus.com

A college consulting business based in Norway.[/quote]

Neither of those links are affiliated with actual colleges. Don’t be daft. I can just as easily pull up examples of businesses and orgs named after the Ivy League.[/quote]

You don't understand how search engine works. Google presents the most relevant results first. Try google "Ivy League" and "Ivy Plus" and see which term is real.[/quote]
