Understanding Fraternity Drinking: Five Recurring Themes in the Literature, 1980–1998
Abstract
In light of widespread concern about alcohol abuse on college campuses, the authors review the empirical literature concerning fraternity drinking published since 1980. The review is structured according to 5 themes that emerge from the literature: (a) the continuity between high school and college drinking, (b) the self-selection of heavy drinkers into environments that support heavy drinking, (c) the central role of alcohol in fraternity socialization, (d) the misperception of drinking norms, and (e) the enabling environment of the fraternity house. The literature is summarized for the benefit of those who wish to better understand the role of alcohol use in the fraternity system.

“Borsari and Carey (1999), citing literature from 1980 to 1998, identified the fraternity house as one of the most consistent sites for the heaviest drinking on campus.”

In the citing paper
“In the review, they noted two considerable problems embedded in the culture of fraternity living: problematic drinkers tend to self-select into residences that enable abusive drinking (see also Park, Sher, & Krull, 2009) and fraternity residences tend to have a greater tolerance of intoxicated behaviors.”

In the citing paper
“Borsari and Carey (1999) reviewed literature from 1980 to 1998 on the topic, concluding members were particularly susceptible to the risk of problematic alcohol consumption because of the role of socialization in the environment.”

In the citing paper
“Although this result seems counterintuitive, a more holistic look at the research (e.g., Borsari & Carey, 1999) suggested the fraternity/sorority environment yielded higher consumption rates, rather than simply availability.”

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.
