Washington & Lee actually has nearly 2000 undergraduate students, plus around 300 in the law school.

My understanding is that the Greek life ranking is based on both percentage of those involved in Greek life and the responses given by students on surveys. Since most everyone's social life on campus revolves around being Greek (and even non-affiliated students would recognize on a survey that Greek life is the #1 aspect of social life), I would assume that is why W&L is number one.
