Abstract

Fraternity, sorority, and residence hall residents were compared on drinking rates and patterns, drinking-related problems, family history of alcohol problems, alcohol outcome expectancies, and high school drinking patterns. Results indicated residence in a fraternity was related to more frequent alcohol consumption and greater negative consequences even after accounting for family history, expectancies, and high school drinking rates. Family history of alcohol problems was only related to negative consequences for men. Only high school drinking rates were related to amount of alcohol consumed per occasion, for both men and women. Fraternity residence was found to be related to more negative consequences even after accounting for current drinking habits. However, sorority residence was found to moderate the relationship between current drinking and negative consequences. Both high and low drinkers in sororities indicated similar rates of alcohol-related negative consequences, whereas high frequency female drinkers in the residence hall sample reported significantly more problems.

  • Research about student characteristics before joining indicates that many fraternity/sorority members already are more experienced drinkers than their nonaffiliating peers.

    “Although much of the literature about fraternities and sororities focuses on alcohol, research about student characteristics before joining indicates that many already are more experienced drinkers than their nonaffiliating peers (Elias et al., 1996;Larimer, Anderson, Baer, & Marlatt, 2000).”

  • Larimer et al. (2000) found fraternity members consumed more drinks per week (m = 22.4) than sorority members (m = 9.97).

    “These results were consistent with Larimer et al.'s (2000) findings, in another singleinstitution study, that fraternity members consumed more drinks per week (m = 22.4,sd = 11.7)than sorority members (m = 9.97, sd = 8.99).”

  • Larimer et al. (2000) found fraternity members averaged more drinking occasions per week (m = 4.22) than sorority members (m = 2.93).

    “Also, fraternity members averaged more drinking occasions per week (m = 4.22, sd = 1.65) than sorority members (m = 2.93, sd = 1.39).”

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.
