One of the major ranking services (Niche) has a long party school ranking.
Almost all of the top 20 are big state universities (Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, etc.), although Tulane is #1.

As for top private schools, MIT is #98, Yale is #133, Columbia #158, Harvard #240, Stanford #358, Princeton #397, UChicago #426. UPenn is #28, which is the highest party school ranking for a USNWR top 20 national university. Colgate is #90, which seems to be the highest Party School ranking for any USNWR top 20 national LAC. Amherst College is #650 (right below Our Lady of the Lake University).

If there are plenty of parties (and alcohol, etc.) at most of these schools, it just goes to show the tremendous breadth and depth across this particular ranking. It was based on “student reviews and nightlife statistics” (including US Census data).
