I will be tie breaker (ha!) and say put it on but put it in a low spot – like 2nd to last. And say something like 'Homecoming Court: Voted by classmates to be one of X students on 2018 Homecoming court to represent school during Spirit Week" – something like that. Avoid word Prince. :).

I think colleges want students who are well liked by their peers and bring social skills to college, and, alas, I agree with you that it does goes against stereotype for Asian American students so it may make you stand out.

And I would go further to say you did accomplish this by being a respected student at your school.

Good luck!
