Yes, it's very specific. There are 8 of them: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale.
I do remember a Canadian version they dubbed (quite nauseatingly) the 'Canadian Ivies': Waterloo, Alberta, McGill, Montreal, Toronto, British Columbia, McMaster, Calgary, Western, Queens, Dalhousie, Ottawa, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Sherbrooke. If they're really serious about branding and choosing the elite schools they'd be wise not to include so many.
