13 years ago at 8:24 pmGirl you’re going to the wrong parties then!
13 years ago at 9:33 pm… you may need to redefine raging then.
13 years ago at 8:20 pmOU OH YEAH.
Sorry the rest of you guys are stuck with you shitty 40 person house parties while we’re throwing a street bash for thousands.
13 years ago at 9:11 pmGo Cats.
13 years ago at 10:11 pmMiami University, Green Beer Day. We have thousands of people coverge upon our school as well and still have the brains to get into a top school in the country that’s not nearly as GDI, liberal hippy infested. Sucks to suck. Also, Love and Honor is a much better catch phrase than “OU OH YEAH,” you stupid fucks.
13 years ago at 10:21 am*converge
13 years ago at 10:28 amCool story bro. ECU has a block party that brings in normally 7-10 thousand people. I’m not even going to start talking about raging at The Grove on an Ole Miss gameday. Get the fuck out of here.
13 years ago at 9:37 amWhile I agree with you that The Grove is fucking amazing (best damn day of partying I’ve ever experienced) that’s like comparing apples to oranges. They’re a major SEC school with a huge fucking fan base, and we are a mid major in the middle of a corn field. I can name many schools that rage harder than us, I just dont think OU is one worth mentioning. And we average about 7,000 – 9,000 for GBD, so we’re right on par with ECU.
13 years ago at 11:07 am@Prefferedshacker-There are 18,589 students and 4,059 graduate students. Your dinky loser 7000 person pansy block parties are NOTHING compared to our Halloween and fests, seeing as the amount of people nearly doubles every time. Sorry we’re not sorry that some southern sore losers can’t rage. Maybe YOU should go to the kitchen, and get ME a beer.
13 years ago at 1:06 pmAlright first off i didn’t read all the comments so if any of this has been said oh well. OU is a great place to party but I would never go to school there, I’ve partied there a few times and always had a blast. WVU is a total shithole and should have been nuked by the commies way back when. And as far as bars being the barometer for a party school, Pittsburgh has the second most bars to New Orleans in the country and none of those schools are great party schools. Just some thoughts
13 years ago at 10:22 pmGo Dawgs!
13 years ago at 10:26 pmgod damn i love how pissed off you motherfuckers get about this shit.
13 years ago at 10:59 pmits based on a poorly conducted survey, and i’ll admit that.
that being said, i do my best to rage as often and as dynamically as i can, and i do my best to make sure as many of my friends are always doing the same. Athens is a hippie town in the middle of pretty much nowhere, but its fucking awesome. its a place where you can get any drug you want in about 20 minutes or less, and drinks are cheap as fuck at the bars. sure its not the frattiest place around, but its god damn great to party in.
East Carolina used to be up there in the rankings
13 years ago at 11:27 pmWell the STDs killed off the kids who knew how to party.
13 years ago at 10:22 amNot all of us. Cops in Greenville have just gotten worse. The school is trying to crack down also. We still rage pretty fucking hard. And yes, all the GDI sluts are infected
13 years ago at 9:39 amTo all the people talking about OU halloween… you’ve obviously never been to Franklin street.
13 years ago at 6:26 amThere still more SEC schools than any other conference. Sick em Dawgs! Athens, GA easily tops Athens Ohio.
13 years ago at 9:10 amI count five each of SEC and Big Ten. Sit this next one out, champ.
13 years ago at 10:21 pmI don’t care about these so called “party” schools. Let me get a detailed list of best Greek schools in America. Thats all that really matters.
13 years ago at 9:25 amIt’s in the survey too:
Major Frat & Sorority Scene (but they obvs should’ve said Fraternity)
1-Vandy
13 years ago at 10:29 am2-Transylvania University
3-Ole Miss
4-Sewanee
5-Wake Forest
6-DePauw
7-Lehigh University
8-TCU
9-Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
10-Georgia
11-Ohio University-Athens
12-Penn State-University Park
13-Iowa
14-Arizona State
15-Florida State
16-Birmingham-Southern
17-Wofford
18-Buckness University
19-Albion College
20-South Carolina
FACT: Sewanee, Ole miss, Georgia, Wofford, and Vandy are the only schools on that “list” that actually deserve to be there.
13 years ago at 10:53 amUSC and TCU have a claim, too.
13 years ago at 11:04 amshit your right USC too, But as far as TCU i just dont like how they dont have houses
13 years ago at 11:26 amUm why isn’t FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) on their like we get down really hard after our GSA meetings.
