Yeah don't understand how you can be top tier in academics and partying. Does not compute.

Couple of reasons. The social scene at Ivy schools have been in place for hundreds of years. In addition to fraternities and sororities they have social clubs too so you are really doubling your social activities if you are a member. Think Skull and Bones at Yale but there are dozens of them. Harvard has the Lampoon and Hasty Pudding. These social clubs are HUGE at the Ivy League schools. Second these schools are small and insular with virtually all students living on campus which leads to more socializing.
