The Ivy League school tops Playboy's ninth annual list of party schools, its first appearance in the ranking. Last year's number one school, West Virginia University, fell to number three on Playboy's list.
"Smarties can party too, and UPenn puts other Ivies to shame with its union of brains, brewskies and bros," Playboy writes. "Boasting a notorious underground frat scene that school officials have deemed a nuisance, these renegades pony up thousands of dollars' worth of liquor for their parties-and competition among the houses means a balls-out war of debauchery."
College party video website I'm Shmacked took a trip to Philadelphia for UPenn's Spring Fling in 2012. The annual event is a huge party, with musical guests including Lupe Fiasco, Girl Talk, and Ludacris.

"This year's list was determined by Playboy's editors who considered a variety of factors in their selection process, including access to nightlife and musical events, and creativity when planning social gatherings. Information from the National Center for Education Statistics, the NCAA, and the US Economic Census was also considered," according to a press release.
