Differences in B.A.C. of College Students By Campus Residence

Prior research indicated that on average students living in Greek fraternity houses drink almost twice as much as do those who live in Non-Greek housing (Turrisi et al., 2006). New research suggests that this trend may be fading or reversing. Recently, 1,847 students from a Mid-Sized Southwestern University (where Greek houses are considered on-campus housing) were surveyed. Results suggest that Non-Greek students may be beginning to drink heavier than their Greek counterparts.
