Greeting first lady and chaps during do for success (11)

I believe the answer is:

achievement

'for success' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'greeting first lady and chaps during do' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'greeting' could be 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting) and 'hi' is found within the answer.
'first' could be 'a' (first letter of the alphabet) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'lady' could be 'em' and 'em' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for achievement that I've seen before include "Exploit" , "resulting in a coat of arms" , "Attainment" , "Something accomplished by effort" , "Something done" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
