"Top Ten Party Schools"
Ted Frank
by [Playboy or, even more improbably, David Letterman] as being in the
[top, bottom] ten [party schools, prettiest coeds, active sex lives]."
In an example of the media supplying a UL-created demand, the Princeton
Review has released a top/bottom ten party school list.

I frankly remember Wellesley as being a lot more fun than all that, but
perhaps that's nostalgia on the eve of my 30th birthday. Or maybe I'm
confusing it with Smith.
Apparently, this is something the Princeton Review (no association with
Princeton University) has been doing for a couple of years now.

One of my guidance counselors warned my parents that I shouldn't apply
to RPI because "it's one of Playboy's top ten party schools". In 1967.

There actually was, way back when, a Playboy article about party
schools, and if I recallc orrectly it included a ranking. A lot of
these questions could be resolved if someone could find that issue.
And RPI was a helluva party school when I was attending mid-1950s.
I recall stake trucks with kegs pulling up in front of the dorms
during campus election week. We simply dumped out our small
wastebaskets, rinsed them out in the john, then took them outside
and had them filled with beer.
The beer, unfortunately, was Fitzgerald, from a Troy brewery, which
was perhaps the worst beer I have ever tasted. But what the hell,
it was free.

The story when I was at RPI (late 80's - early 90's) was that RPI had been
at #1 on the list for several years, then, suddenly, wasn't on the list.
There was a note to the effect of "Yes, RPI isn't on the list; the list
is for amateur partiers only. They're professionals at RPI."
I have heard this about other schools as well, though, so my UL-o-meter
started going off at that point - I don't recall if AFU had been created
yet, but I heard this right around 1989-1990.

Tee-hee. I remember hearing that one residence at McMaster university
(Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) was named one of the top ten best places to get laid
-- by David Letterman, of course.
Well, it was a ten-floor, all-female residence ... so regardless of whether
David Letterman thought so, it seems like it was probably true.

We had the same UL at Texas A&M. The story goes that Playboy rated
schools based on beer consumption. Several schools in the south were
rated highly, including Southwest Texas State and the University of
Southern Louisiana. Texas A&M was excluded, however, because it was "a
rating of collegiate beer drinking, and those Aggies are pros." The
truth of the story, of course, was never established.
My vector extends back to about 1979, when I was there. But I know
that I've told the story many times since, and I did have friends at
RPI throughout the 80s, so maybe it's _my_ fault.

I'm sure drinking it from a wastebasket rinsed with toilet water did little
to improve the quality.

When I came to Virginia Tech in the fall of 1985 I heard many times that
Playboy ranked the dorm I lived in -- Pritchard Hall -- as being in "The
Top Twenty Party Dorms on the East Coast". I always thought that was
kind of a weird category.
Pritchard inspired a lot of stories, and I can attest that it was a
great party dorm.

was kind of like Playboy without the nekkid babes or the enlightened
attitudes towards women) did a ranking of 300 universities on the basis of
partydom. Florida State was first -- good sports, good weather, lotsa
chicks in bikinis, easy classes. West Point was 299th -- regimentation,
you might have to go off and die, very few chicks, good sports. And my
alma mater the University of Chicago came in triumphantly at 300.
The reaction among U of Cers was one of sincere jubilation. The alumni
magazine ran a little squib crowing about it. A media entity did some
interviews on campus and got a nice quote from one of the undergrads:
"Fun isn't linear." I understand it became a T-shirt slogan.
Are there any other places that brag about being the Number Last party school?

Well, we were desperate for something to celebrate.
Unfortunately, the College seems to be well on its way to ruining its
reputation, having remodelled the bookstore to add a Starbuck's, turning
the Reynolds Club into something pleasant to visit rather than a dark and
dank tomb, and planning -- of all things -- an actual student union
building. And let's not even mention the proposed changes to the common
core.
Before much longer, it won't be possible to tell the College from the
pander-to-the-students B-school.

I just checked the list and University of Florida is listed 29th.
However I just got back from a gator growl (New England
chapter of the U of Fla alumni) about an hour ago, and one
of the people there said that according to the latest list he had
seen (on line somewhere) U of F was now third. Of course,
he had been drinking, so maybe he confused the partying
list with the football ranking.

Now that you mention it, BYU was at or near the bottom of somebody's
party-school ranking several years ago. Pressed for a quotable
reaction to the ranking, then-president Jeffrey R. Holland remarked
that he was pleased to see the school so recognized, or somesuch
thing. But bragging about it? Well, it didn't make it into the
next year's recruiting brochures.

This is astonishing. I was there 1984-88 and the prevailing attitude was
very much in the "if we wanted to have fun we'd be someplace else" vein.
While I'm sure a fair amount of cannabis smoke was inhaled, it was hardly
a party scene.
We are talking about the same University of Chicago, right? The one paid
for by JD Rockefeller, fronting on 59th St.? You aren't maybe thinking of
UI at C? (An amazing number of people IN CHICAGO couldn't tell them
apart.)

Harvard On The Hill? Tinker Toy Tech? [I'm kidding... DVC is a fine JC]
The way I heard the list (back in 78) was that Chico was definately on
it, but so was St. Mary's College in Moraga (about 10 miles south of DVC.)
Now I believe the survey was done a few years earlier... 74 or so, and
the rating was based on the male-only St. Mary's, which became a coed
institution in [checking their web page www.stmarys-ca.edu] 1970. Their
historical chronology doesn't mention any such award... but then it probably
wouldn't. They've been trying to dispell the myth of rowdy drunken SMC
students for at least the last 15 years. [myth?... fooled me]
Using Altavista and "top near ten near party and playboy and chico" I get
but ONE hit, www.willdurst.com/WeeksWorth2.html where Will Durst (comedian)
makes the comment in a headline/dateline:
Chico, California, Where the state university is reknown for
being in Playboy's top ten party schools.
Removing "chico" from the search criteria, I hit a page claiming that
Ball State University is "consistantly listed in Playboy" as a top ten
party school.
I also hit the alt.folklore.college FAQ with an entry:
Tb. Nearly every college think's their on the Playboy top ten [...]
Ethan's Home web page claims that Harvey Mudd College in Claremont CA is
on Playboy's list. www.oxy.edu/~sadacca/old/
An unattributed "Top Ten Party Schools & Why" list at:
www.cs.runet.edu/~rraphael/my_pages/party.html
lists: 1) Penn St
2) NYU
3) W. Virginia
4) Tennessee
5) Ball St (Another vote for Ball)
6) Drexel
7) Rutgers
8) Maryland
9) Michigan St
10) Slippery Rock
There is a comment on the Slippery Rock entry of:
"Some of Playboy's top ten should visit here some time."
Which seems to indicate that the above top ten is NOT the Playboy top ten.
Changing the search criteria to "playboy near chico" I find:
- a page stating "Chico was once voted by Playboy something like Biggest
Party School."
- orion.csuchico.edu/Archivves/Volume35/Issue5/News/PartyCentr.html which
dates the Playboy January 1987 issue as naming Chico the *TOP* party school.
[Must have been top ten before then, since I've heard it before 87]
- A Chico bar named Riley's in Playboy's TOP 100 College Bars.
- A Playboy article mentioning Chico Hamilton, Newport Jazz... nope.
- A mention of Playboy's College Girls at Chico... nope.
- ANOTHER Will Durst article [www.wald.com.library/durst021698.html] giving
a date "Circa 1979" as "One of Playboy's Party Schools"
- udel.edu/~marclip/education.html claims that CSU "Voted #1 Party School
by Playboy Magazine in the '80's."
Now, has anyone asking "who is on the top ten list" considered that Playboy
probably does this list yearly... for the last 25 years, and that would
put 250 schools on the list *officially*.
Oh, and "playboy near diablo near college" one unrelated hit.
BTW, the Mitchell Brothers (behind the green door, etc) got their film
education at DVC... I also understand that a current Congressperson
acted in one of their college films.

FWIW - this list has been discussed extensively on alt.folklore.urban.
They have never been able to locate the famous "party" list in any
copy of the magazine. However, they have determined that virtually
every college and university in the U.S. claims to have been on it.

Stuff and nonsense. I received the very edition when I subscribed in
the eighties. It was the January 1987 issue. Cal State Chico was
Number One. Playboy mentions it on their Web page, in their FAQ:
"Since about 1955, rumors have floated around every campus in the
country that Playboy had at one time run a survey of drinking on campus
and that a particular school was listed as Number 1. The only time that
Playboy has ever ranked the best 'party' schools was in our January 1987
issue."
So you are correct that this has long had legendary status, but the
magazine's editors obviously decided to act on the legend by publishing
the real list in 1987.

Just goes to show that there is always something new to be learned, eh?
The "Top 10 Party Schools" listings were appearing in Playboy in the
late 60s and early 70s. Dig up old issues and you will see it was an
annual affair. A University I was familiar with was on the list and we
used to call it "Cow Tech" and laugh as to the list's being a parody.

Obviously the drinkers at LSU were too busy to do justice
to the survey. But how did the "campus social studs" at MIT
do the engineering of MIT's high ranking as a top party school?
Going back a couple more decades, in the late 60's, before
Princeton became co-ed, the editors of the "Daily Princetonian"
wrote a little paperback book named,
"The College Man's Guide To Where The Girls Are".
I looked up my own (co-ed) college in this little paperback, and
the book said that you'd be better off somewhere else, anywhere
else, even in Cleveland, than looking for action at Oberlin,
(a small college in a small, "dry" town near Cleveland) but if
you're a desperate college man and you really want to find the
girls at Oberlin on a Saturday night, go to the college library.
So? What do you expect at a school whose motto is,
"Learning and Labor".

ago and looking for Indiana University. Could not find it listed until
I noticed an asteric beside the Top Ten Title line. The little ref note
at the bottom of the page said something like *I.U.is not on this list
because professionals are not listed with amatures.
I thought the list was a parody too.

Dear Ben,
I looked for a college which had the motto "Driving fast and Getting
your wing-wang squeezed" but couldn't find one. Do you have any
advice ?
