UD is also a top 25 party school according to Barstool Sports, a digital pop culture and sports outlet. Barstool Flyers, a popular social media page among UD students, is an affiliate of Barstool Sports.
In August, UD was #4. But as of Sept. 16, UD dropped to #12. Barstool updates the rankings regularly.
