Alcohol Abuse on College Campuses

YOUNG ADULTS

Sororities and fraternities are a popular part of college life in the U.S. Unfortunately, hazing practices still exist within these organizations, and many hazing activities involve alcohol. Up to 82% of deaths during hazing weeks involve alcohol. Yet, surprisingly, only 29% of fraternity and sorority leaders are concerned with the amount of alcohol that is consumed during pledge week activities.
