I think Wisconsin and Marquette should ally to form a drinking team that will conquer the world.

FSU: Florida's Superior University
 

Its nice to see that we made it back into the top-10. At one time, we had the #1 spot for almost a full decade.

I don't know if any new bar has ever risen to the level of The Phyrst (it was the best bar EVER,) but if one does, I'll visit Tally more often.

So does Ohio University! Pathetic-- they are all we have going here in Ohio! hahaha

I know my sister would join forces at Marquette!

Actually, I think this year is about as high as Ohio has ever been. I don't even think we were on the list last year.

That's why the list is so bogus. As I said earlier, do you think student bodies just stop partying for a year?

O.U. was also listed a couple years ago as one of the top Greek schools in the nation by Princeton Review. And then totally off the list the next. Huh? On both.

It just doesn't track.

LSU isn't on there! WTF?!?!

This ranking is obviously bullshit if LSU ain't on there... Actually, I know that the school has done alot to take their name off of this list (i.e. drunk busses, etc) so that might be why. Ah, maybe next year.

My freshman year we were #5. Nice to see we're back in the game. Hotty Toddy!!

Hey, Oregon made #14 on the party list this year. Go Ducks! We also got #5 on the Reefer Madness and #1 on the Dorms Like Dungeons list. That sounds about right.

Ironically, this comes after they forced all the fraternities to go dry to combat the "Animal House" image. :rolleyes:

co-sign!

I'm surprised FSU can even make the list after a dorm (of all things) was built where The Phyrst used to be!

There is a sort-of-on-campus bar called Potbellies, where the AEPi house used to be in the 80's. It's the new version of The Phyrst, but as with all sequels it doesn't even come close to being as wonderful as the original (although I'm sure the current generation will disagree with me). I bet they don't even have Bladder Bust.

/nostalgia

Well, W&L's administration is squirming in their seats right now--normally they at least update the webpage with our good rankings in professors, happy students, pretty campus, stuff like that, but they're so ashamed of the party school ranking this year they haven't even had the nerve to post it.

Y'all will enjoy this story:

W&L's administration and admissions office always thinks that the ratings we get are based on a few very extreme (ie, drunken) people answering the Princeton Review's poll... so this year they did this huge campaign to all the honors students, student leaders, etc. for us to answer the poll and provide some more moderate views. Well--we did. Nearly everyone I know took the poll. And guess what? Our rankings were even more extreme this year.

LOL. Poor administrators.

Heh- I saw some article in the Des Moines Register trying to justify that other Iowa school being on one of the lists is because of "widespread alcohol abuse".
My ass.

What happened to ECU!!!
 

If Playboy loves us year after year, why doesn't the Princeton Review give us our props?

A link to the The Post at Ohio University with a story about the O.U. ranking:

The Phyrst
 

I've been in Potbellies. Its not even close. One room, too small, and no character.

Where you there for the last two nights of The Phyrst? The second to last night was a double bladder bust. The last night was supposed to be a triple bladder bust, but things got so out of hand (in a good way) that the third one never happened.

Once I turned 21, I almost never missed a bladder bust. Me and some of my phellow Phi Psis had it down to a science. There was the pre-bust, where we homesteaded in front of a bar, and started with a few pitchers (usually the one by the kitchen.) Then there was the bust, where we drank the "free" beer (if you didn't tip the bartender, he would ignore you.) The post-bust had two distinct stages. First we would drain a kidney. I would leave the Phyrst (as opposed to waiting on line inside) and go behind a certain building where I would do what I had to do. The second stage of the post-bust was the best part of the night. Socializing/staggering in one room in the Phyrst, then another, then another.

I also miss their wings. Absolutely amazing.

One of my best memories was turning 21 in the Phyrst. UF had beaten us for 6 straight years. The 1988 FSU-UF game was in Tally during Turkeyday weekend. I flew back in that Friday night. I was on line to get in, and at 11:15 pm a bouncer was denying me entrance. I was explaining that I would be 21 in 45 minutes. He was having none of this. Finally, the other bouncer said, 'let the guy in" and I was in! I found a bunch of my bros, and a few minutes later the Marching Chiefs entered the bar playing fight tunes. Everyone was pumped. I ordered beer and I wasn't carded. I was disapointed because I wanted to show my drivers licence. I really was 21!

A few hours later. we stumbled out and got some drunk food at Steak & Egg (remember that hole?)

The next day, on my 21st birthday, we beat UF. It was great.

Anyway, I'm still upset that George (George also owned The Pub, which was another great place with character, and that's gone now too) and Scott sold the joint. I couldn't believe that the Florida legislature did not call a special session to landmark The Phyrst and keep it in business. What were they thinking?

If I ever come into several billion dollars, I just might buy that dorm, tear it down, and rebuild The Phyrst.

I considered going to Albany. Quite a few people I know go there and apparently it does live up to it's reputation. However, I believe my school is hightly unrepresented in the Princeton Review. ;)
