Looking at the Princeton Review web site, Washington and Lee is not listed at all. It is like it vaporized. I suspect that the W&L administration asked/demanded to not be included. In past years the W&L administration's point was that one does not even have to prove that they are a student at a school to participate in the surveys that form the basis of that particular school's rankings. It is interesting that W&L has taken that approach with Princeton Review, and I am wondering if other schools are also left out.
In any event, around 80% of W&L undergrads are in fraternities and sororities, which I think is the second highest percentage in the country (behind DePauw). Since W&L is in a small town in the Virginia mountains, the fraternities and sororities serve as the primary housing/ eating/ social outlet for the student body. Since just about everyone is in a fraternity or sorority, there is a house that "fits" everyone. Also, just about all fraternity and sorority functions are open to the entire campus, which serves to make them the primary social outlet and reduces any "exclusivity" of being in a fraternity or sorority.
