Examining the Effects of a National Alcohol-Free Fraternity Housing Policy
Abstract
This investigation examined the effectiveness of an alcohol-free fraternity housing policy on the risky alcohol use of members of a national fraternity (N=718). Comparisons of members in chapters with fraternity housing (FH) and those in chapters without housing (NFH) over time revealed no policy-related effects on measures of alcohol use. Among FH members, comparisons of those who lived in fraternity housing and those who lived in other housing also found no effects. FH members reported that the policy was implemented moderately well; however, it may have shifted alcohol use from fraternity housing to other settings.

“Crosse, Ginexi, and Caudill (2006), in a longitudinal study of members from a single national fraternity (n = 3,406; 98 of 99 chapters), found members with a house engaged in binging more frequently (both 5+ times and 8+ times) than members with no house.”

Crosse et al. (2006) reported the average number of drinking days in a month was fairly consistent for members in chapters with a fraternity house and higher than chapters without a fraternity house.
“Results showed the average number of drinking days in a month was fairly consistent for members in chapters with a fraternity house at all four data collection points (range = 11.06-11.30;sd = 5.35-6.65)and higher than chapters without a fraternity house (range = 8.28-9.95;sd = 6.33-8.32).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
