* Paris Gellar (former socially-awkward AlphaBitch, still awkward) served in this capacity during the third season of GilmoreGirls. She was only able to get elected by having Rory as her VP to soften her image (people respected Paris' abilities and focus, but were terrified/put-off by her personality so she needed a softer, friendlier running mate who would have her back). Turned into major drama when the Senior-class Rep (a previously unseen AlphaBitch at the school) felt she was getting snubbed in meetings (her not-so-great ideas were just being dismissed right away by Paris) and went all Machiavelli using Paris' social insecurities. Eventually, she helped push Paris back into full-on AlphaBitch mode against Rory for a while, but never really seemed to get anything out of it for herself.

Added DiffLines:

The British version (in certain schools) is the Head Boy/Girl, who's in charge of the prefects (student volunteers with various roles). The stereotype is for them to be either a [[TheAce nigh-perfect]] BigManOnCampus RenaissanceMan/Woman, or the toadying epitome of the TeachersPet, and either way to be destined for a career in politics. Mixed schools may have one of each, who may or may not be a RulingCouple.


Added DiffLines:

* ''[[Franchise/BobbinsVerse Giant Days]]'' features a university GirlPosse who were all formerly Head Girls of their respective secondary schools. They try to recruit Esther into their clique and respond aggressively when rebuffed (turns out all Head Girls are required to train in a fighting style...)

Yet the overwhelming popularity that elected him to that position also makes him king of the school.
