GQ Ranks Duke America's 2nd 'Douchiest' College

A little late but nonetheless. Although more attention has been paid to Duke slipping to number 10 in U.S. News & World Report's rankings, GQ's September issue features its own brand of college rankings: America's 25 Douchiest Colleges. The magazine calls Duke the home of "The O.D. (Original Douche)" and adds, "They're probably number one. But we'd rather not rank Duke number one at anything." GQ also dubbed Duke as honorable mentions in the categories of "blue-blazer institution," "excessive-pride institutions," "show us your t---s institutions," "crazily expensive institutions," "kind bud institutions," "limousine liberal institutions" and "eating club institutions."

Though the magazine's ranking systems are a bit suspect (a list of the 10 Best Food Trucks in America omits OnlyBurger), Duke pales in comparison only to Brown. At least Duke beat Harvard (4) and Princeton (3) at something other than basketball.

UPDATE: The Chronicle's online editor Alex Klein has found a link for the print pages of GQ's list, which you can see here.
