These Are The Best Universities For Tailgating, Rush Week, And Partying

Students for years have been debating over whose school is better. It’s a never-ending dick measuring contest over which school parties the hardest, has the best tailgates, or the best Greek scene. I’ve actually done a lot of my own research on these subjects.

However, I decided to sit this one out so Tilt could tell you which schools do it best. Tilt, an app that Greeks across the nation are using to send money to each other, decided to do a little digging into the stats. They wanted to see who, exactly, has the best tailgating, rush week, and party scene. How did they come up with this? By figuring out which schools spent the most on these things.

Here are the results:

Top Tailgating Schools

Top-Tailgating-Schools-Alt-1024x559

Top Rush Week Schools

Top-Rush-Week-1024x568

Top Party Schools

Top-Party-Schools-Final-1024x568

I actually have no qualms with the tailgating list. It seems pretty accurate to me for the top few schools. The Grove is no doubt the best tailgate you’ll ever go to. The rush week rankings include a bunch of schools that do Greek life well, too, so I have no issue there. I would like all of us to take a second to laugh at North Texas for making the party school list.

So, remember kids, in order to rage harder than the rest of the nation, you gotta open up that wallet and toss some cash around.

Claiming you’re number one because you spent the most. TFM.

    Why is Alabama not on the top rush week? Aren’t they the biggest Greek system?

      We do fraternity rush during the summer. The infographic probably goes off of a range of dates where most of rush is over.

        My deserts looked like snow camouflage and my woodlands looked like that ugly Seabee lime green. I’d say so

      Our pledge classes are filled by the time school starts. We don’t really have a “rush week”

      To be fair, copy and pasting infographics is pretty strenuous work. Doubt he had time to proofread

    How is Wake Forest on the top tailgate? I am from Winston Salem, and I almost forgot they even have a football team.

      I may be biased as an Aggie, but our tailgates are massive and we are having a three day tailgate for the home opener. Texas BBQ, tons of alcohol, rich alums, gorgeous women, and an SEC football team. I’m not saying we should be number one but we have to at least make the list.

      Regarding tailgating, I agree. And how the hell did LSU make 2nd? Every LSU alum and student I have ever talked to has said Baton Rouge is a nightmare, and they prefer to come to Aggieland. The Rush (and Greek life in general), however, I can see. A&M didn’t even have a recognized Greek presence until the 80’s. Before then, it was only unrecognized colonies. It is the only school in Texas that I know of that doesn’t have an on campus Greek presence. and by all accounts Greek life was mediocre until we entered the SEC then all of the Nationals began investing more in the chapters and colonies here.

    Amazing insights, Harrison … amazing. The one about UNT was extremely thought provoking. Thanks for all of the hard research / work on this article ….

    IU not making the top tailgating schools list is ridiculous. That’s all we have going for us
