A study of undergraduate drinking behavior, attitudes, and membership in Greek letter social organizations

Alcohol is a part of college life for many students. Numerous studies have shown the prevalence of alcohol use by undergraduates. Fewer studies have focused on the use of alcohol by members of fraternities and sororities. There are no studies presently available which explore the motivations for drinking or the risks perceived to be associated with drinking by these groups, however. What is clear is that alcohol is a highly destructive and highly abused drug, especially among college age youth. Studies show that motivations and risk perceptions are not unrelated to drinking behavior.
