No longer the “douchiest”…

by Miriam Furst

Brown may still be the happiest school in the country, but we’re no longer the douchiest, according to the recently published book The Rogers & Littleton Guide to America’s Douchiest Colleges and GQ’s 2011 list.  H. L. Rogers and Peter Littleton, authors of both the book and GQ’s list, didn’t even include Brown in the top ten douchiest colleges.  In addition to college reviews, the 176-page book outlines the top factors douches consider when choosing a college and the “Eleven Douchiest Drinking Games.”  Ruit is nowhere to be found on the list, so it comes as no surprise that Brown didn’t make the cut this year.

Instead, Cornell took the number one spot, being referred to as “the home of the ‘chip on the shoulder’ douche.” An intern for Business Insider responded with a defense that not surprisingly, is pretty douchey itself, unlike the Herald’s clever response to our 2009 GQ ranking.

By the way, the image above is an actual screen shot from Cornell’s law school’s website.  Yes, Cornell is actually douchey enough to use Andy Bernard, an incredibly douchey fictional character from “The Office,” on the homepage of its law school’s website.
