Best Party Schools

[SOM]

I, in error, did not post the opening page to story:

College is about studying—and socializing. Newsweek ranks the 25 schools that take that mantra to heart.
To find the schools that party the most Newsweek crunched the numbers for the following five data points: Drug law violations for 2009 as a percentage of institution size, with data from the US Department of Education; Liquor law violations for 2009 as a percentage of institution size, with data from the US Department of Education; drug safety grades from College Prowler (a lower grade indicates greater prevalence and access to drugs and alcohol on campus, according to College Prowler surveys); nightlife grades from College Prowler; and Greek Life grades, from College Prowler. Each data point was weighted equally using z-scores (a measure of how close or distant each school is to the average within each category).
