GAMMA RSO - Greeks Advocating for the Mature Management of Alcohol. To get involved: Registered Student Organizations

● Substance Abuse Evaluation/Counseling

● Online Alcohol and Drug Abuse Education and Intervention *meets program requirements for the university's Alcohol Policy

● Alcohol and Drug Information School (ADIS) *meets requirements mandated by the court for Minor in Possession (MIP), Minor in Consumption (MIC), diversion, misdemeanor possession of a drug or drug paraphernalia. The ADIS curriculum combines Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS), Marijuana Brief Intervention, and Motivational Interviewing in individual counseling sessions. This strategy has been shown to be highly effective for use with the college student population.

According to College AIM, Alcohol Intervention Matrix (www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/CollegeAIM), individual-level strategies aim to produce changes in attitudes or behaviors related to alcohol use rather than the environments in which alcohol use occurs. Expected outcomes, in general, are that a strategy may decrease an individual’s alcohol use (e.g., frequency, quantity, or blood alcohol concentration) and/or alcohol-related risk-taking behaviors, thereby reducing harmful consequence. Students can expect:

● Safety skills training

● Goal/Intention Setting

● Brief motivational intervention

● Personalized feedback intervention
