The party school designation is based on student reports on alcohol and marijuana use, the amount of time spent studying outside of class and the popularity of fraternities and sororities on campus.

I really do not see the relativity of this. How does the suspension of a fraternity have anything to do with the "partying statistic." Furthermore, how does the popularity of fraternities and sororities on campus figure in? I can see how they are social organizations; however, there are some social org's who aren't very social, or perhaps not social at all!
I think to rank schools according to which is more of a party school than another is funny and has no purpose, other than to tell high school students that if they go to this particular school they have a better chance at finding a good party rather than finding a good study group. (Okay, that may be pushing it a little. I just think ranking schools according to social life is a little ridiculous.)
