<p>"How visible are parties? Do you hear about them via emails? On Facebook? On fliers posted around the campus? Are they hosted only by organizations like the Arts Club or the Asian Students Club? Or are they frat parties? Or, like Princeton, on a street where you know exactly what is happening in each building and when the parties are open, when they are members-only, when they are theme parties, when they are on tap or off tap."</p>
<p>Parties are very visible. The majority of drinking happens in apartments and private houses, but you can't really call it a party since not that many people can actually fit inside. Frats throw the majority of the good parties (and bad ones). Word of mouth is the most common, but during parties it's very obvious from the street. Frats on 'frat row' will normally throw parties on the same night so you can partyhop.</p>
