I think their biggest problem is that they're basically teenagers or just barely beyond. As for UT-Austin, being a dropout from there myself (had to go make a living before I could finish), I'd say it's like a lot of Large American Universities: You can party your liver out and just barely manage to stay off academic probation, or you can hit the books really, really hard with no partying; most undergrads fall somewhere on the spectrum between the two absolutes.
The worst I've read about these two is NOTHING compared to some of what I saw firsthand. Once while tutoring, I had a Tri Delt ask me, "What's a noun?" I saw one guy from our hall at Simkins who had the beginnings of a really serious binging problem. These two aren't bad partiers, just highly conspicuous.
