I think we should all stop being so persnickety about which words he uses, whether it’s “hook”,“spike”,“use”, or “tip” it doesn’t matter.

If you’ve worked hard for this honor/title and you feel colleges should see this, then write about it. Write about how you have dreamed about this honor for a long time, the journey to get the position, the responsibilities you have and perhaps even the positive changes that are associated with you leading the class.

A thing such as this only matters as much as you make it. If your essays are wonderful, then it will seem like a big deal. If you put it down at the bottom of your application, it will be glanced at and forgotten. Even a simple, and not nearly as prestigious of an award, may be made into something huge. Really, it’s in your power to present yourself in the best light possible. The rest is up to the admissions people.
