Those Stupid Rankings Again. I typically don't pay attention to the rankings since one can get any school to be at the top of the list if the criteria are tweaked just so. But this is simply funny. Beer? Greek scene? Which students did they survey? When I was an undergraduate, no one ever surveyed me (of course, this led to that particular institution being labeled as having "suicidal course work"--not that I didn't agree with it). This leads me to believe that it was done "randomly" although who knows how random it really was.
As an aside, when I was in high school and I was at the point of thinking about which colleges I might apply to, I had also thought about joining a sorority once I got to college. I know, that totally doesn't sound like me since I would rather get some sleep instead of partying and drinking until all hours of the early morning, but the problem was, I had a misconception about what a sorority was. I thought they were some sort of feminist organizations with serious social agendas. But once I heard about how it really was on the Greek scene, I thanked my lucky stars I went somewhere that didn't have a Greek scene whatsoever.
