Seriously, there's nothing wrong with the Princeton Review -- it captures how students feel about their schools, not an accurate picture of which schools are actually the twenty best Greek schools in the nation.
Some of the factors used I'm sure are percentage of the schoool that is Greek (thus explaining W & L, DePauw, Elon?), number of Greek students total (most of the Big Ten schools on the list), general reputation (Dartmouth, Ole Miss), and maybe general effect that Greeks have on the student body (Bama). Schools like UT-Austin would be unlikely to make it since, while the Greek system is strong, it is a miniscule part of the school overall and is really its own little world. Although, come to think of it, our system is very similar to theirs . . .
Factors that should be considered and probably are not: how many sororities make quota, how "Panhellenic" and "Interfraternal" (?) the school is, the amount of support the Greek system gets from the school.
I am not surprised that Sewanee is on there; despite the fact that it just got its first NPC sororities, it has had a strong Greek system for years and years, hasn't it?
On that note, LOL at the fact that we're even ON this list. I can think of plenty of schools that should be on this list ahead of us.
