Gambling by Greek-Affiliated College Students: An Association Between Affiliation and Gambling
Abstract
This investigation compared the prevalence rates of pathological and problem gambling between Greek-affiliated and non-Greek-affiliated college students. The 954 participants volunteered to take the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS; Lesieur & Blume, 1987), which measures gambling disorders. A statistically significant association was found between problem gambling and male Greek-affiliated students.

The review found that members had significantly higher probable problem gambling likelihood than nonmembers, and that gambling online was more prevalent and increased the odds of potential future problems.
“Research has shown members had significantly higher probable problem gambling likelihood than nonmembers (Rockey et al., 2005), and that gambling online was more prevalent (Shead et al., 2012) and increased the odds of potential future problems (Biddix & Hardy, 2008).”

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.
