Triple Eagle
Somebody who went to B.C. High School, B.C. and B.C. Law School. In some circles, more prestigious than a Hahvihd degree - William Bulger is a Triple Eagle.
Professor Albert Hanwell completed his Triple Eagle, then went back to teach at BC.

No, Professor Albert Hanwell is NOT a Triple Eagle, despite what he might say in his Faculty Profile on the B.C. Website. If you read it he says that he got his MSW from the BC School of Social Work. That doesn't make him a TE. When I used to work as the Director of Alumni Affairs at B.C. High I was constantly reminded by "real" TE's that you have to have gone to the high school, undergrad at the college, and LAW school only to be considered a TE. Ever since both BC and the law school became national schools (as opposed to the parochial commuter institutions they both used to be)it is a dying breed which will one day be extinct.

It's certainly not more prestigious to BC students/grads who went to a real high school, like St. John's Prep or Xaverian. :-)

Triple Eagles are BC High, BC undergrad, and BC Law and no other options. This is the most prestigious title you can have anywhere in the universe.

BC is one of the most overrated schools out there-it was a broke party and commuter school until Flutie put it on the map and they have been shamelessly exploiting that pr opportunity to exaggerate its academics ever since.Check the legit academic surveys-few BC programs rank in the top 50 despite what obnoxious BC alums will tell you every chance they get.
