It's funny you suggest Williams because on CC people say that is a HUGE drinking school. Pick Darmouth if you think there's too much drinking at Williams? Or pick Williams cuz there's too much drinking at Dartmouth?
Which is correct??

Drinking is a traditional recreational activity at practically all of the isolated, snowy colleges in New England and upstate New York. However, it is widely believed that the most excessive behavior is associated with fraternities, and this is one reason why Greek organizations have been eliminated at many of these schools.
In general, schools that still have an active Greek system (such as Dartmouth) offer more opportunities for excessive drinking, and are more attractive to those applicants who are seeking the "Animal House" college experience. In general, schools without Greek systems (such as Williams) have more regulated social environments, and are less likely to attract the heaviest partiers.
