Participants were 248 women ranging in age from 18-23. Freshmen accounted for 29% of the sample, 24% sophomores, 26% juniors, 18% seniors, and 3% fifth year students. Multiple regression analyses indicated that sorority membership and emotional pain were significant predictors of frequency of alcohol consumption; and age, sorority membership, and emotional pain were significant predictors of quantity of alcohol consumption.
