- ... taken by students attending Yale University in 1997 showed the average binge drinker profile to be white, lacking religious participation, athletic, and members of fraternities or sororities (ICAP 4).

Once in college, these students get drug-tested every semester and the scholarship is renewed every semester they are drug- ...
