Towson University Evaluation
Fraternity and Sorority Life at Towson University has used TIPS for the University as their premier alcohol education program since the beginning of 2011. All risk management chairs, social chairs, presidents and current executive boards of all chapters have been trained by University staff. In 2012, staff added all male new members (pledges) and select female new members to the training schedule. An assessment with trained students was conducted by the Towson University Fraternity and Sorority Life staff that demonstrates the benefits of the program to their students and the student’s affinity toward the TIPS for the University Program in comparison to other programs. Most notable, 99% of those surveyed agreed or strongly agreed that the TIPS for the University program was better than any other alcohol program/assessment they have taken at Towson University.

The Center for Studies on Alcohol Research

The subjects were 3,406 members of a national college fraternity. Within 6-months of implementing TIPS, the study shows that fraternity members' frequency of drinking, heavy drinking, and number of episodes a member drank to intoxication had all significantly declined.
