Some of my interests outside of the University include golfing, and playing basketball. As a senior I am required to complete an in depth research topic on an area of personal interest. The topic that I chose to study is the relation between binge drinking and fraternity membership. College students engage in binge drinking at a greater frequency than any other segment of the general population. This is especially true of fraternities.
Fraternities use alcohol to socialize new members into their organization.
I am concerned with this relationship because there are a great deal of negative consequences involved with binge drinking. Some of these consequences include drinking and driving, and unplanned sexual activity. These consequences make this an important topic to analyze.
