We’re not covering party schools because we’re advising you to go to the below universities. We’re covering party schools because so many of you either think your school should make the list, or are wondering if it already has.
While you can find top party school lists across the internet -- with the Princeton Review being the authority on the topic -- we’ve consolidated student reviews across sites, including our own, to find out which colleges have the most active, fun, and boozy social scene....

The weather is still pretty chilly across most of the US. Good thing sorority girls across the country have their “homes away from homes” to offer them shelter from the cold. Some of these homes are classics and some are brand new. In the fall we ranked the 10 Best Sorority Houses in America of Fall 2016. Now it’s time for our Spring 2017 rankings of the best sorority houses in America....

You have made one of the biggest decisions of your life to go to college. Congratulations! However, that’s not the only decision that you’ll have to make when it comes to college life. Another important decision that you’ll probably make is the decision to go Greek in college.
Greek life has lots of benefits to offer to its members – opportunities to build a network, social/community activities to participate in, a strong brotherhood bond to maintain, and many more! However, one of the biggest challenges college guys face at the beginning of their Greek life is choosing the right fraternity for themselves....

Penn State just announced a new wrinkle in how fraternity and sorority recruitment is going to work - a delayed fall option that gives incoming students more time before they commit to a chapter. And my first reaction, honestly, was somewhere between skeptical and genuinely curious. Because I've seen recruitment done in a way that felt more like a speed-dating cattle call than a real process for finding your people. If Penn State is trying to fix that, I'm at least willing to hear it out.

Every few months, some op-ed runs with a headline about the death of Greek life. A chapter gets suspended somewhere, enrollment drops at one school, and suddenly everyone's ready to write the obituary.

That approach might work short-term. But it tends to backfire in ways you don't see coming until you're already in too deep.

A student at CSU Long Beach is alleging that fraternity hazing led to a car crash in Riverside County that killed his friend. That's the short version. And honestly, there's no way to write about something like that without feeling the weight of it first - before any analysis, before any broader commentary about Greek life. Someone died. A friendship ended on a highway because of something that allegedly started inside a fraternity ritual. That has to be said out loud before anything else.
