Making up leadership positions?

<p>So let me start by beginning saying that it's not me actually making up a position, I have the position but it is informal. </p>

<p>In my speech and debate team, I lead the LD debaters (that's a type of debate). Like I make decisions, set up a schedule, and people come to me for advice. Would it be immoral for me to say I'm the "LD Debate Captain," though I haven't been formally given the title?</p>

<p>It’s usually fine to describe it accurately- you know “captain” implies more than your role. </p>

<p>I suspect this thread question will raise some eyebrows- let’s make it clear you shouldn’t mislead. But, if you have those resps, you can use the description line(s) to your advantage. </p>

<p>Can you ask the coach if it’s fair to say you function as “LD Lead?”</p>

<p>What’s the difference between “Lead” and “Captain?”</p>

<p>The common usage.<br>
And, the usage on college apps, the shorthand to adcoms.
I wouldn’t say I was a titled “Manager,” just for having some management resps. I’m suggesting you use the description to show your resps. Also, are you saying you wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing this with the coach? </p>

<p>Don’t think adcoms are indiscriminately just looking for “titles.” Even the pres of stu govt has to back it up in the description- not just lay out the title.</p>

<p>Well the thing is I was officially “Speech Captain” last year. however she got rid of the titles, so I just decided captain because it parallels with last year’s title.</p>
