• 21.8% of students reported experiencing some kind of personal problems (such as suicide ideation, being hurt or injured, trying unsuccessfully to stop using, sexual assault) at least once during the past year as a result of drinking or drug use.

Should members choose to drink alcohol, the informative resources at left help inform decision-making, and educate on alcohol poisoning and taking action before it’s too late. The resources also have important information that every member should know regarding alcohol poisoning and taking appropriate measures before it’s too late. This information can also be used by the executive leadership and chapter standards (accountability) committees as an educational sanction to address individual members actions that either break fraternity policy or cause the chapter embarrassment.
