    2. Research in the Literature About Fake-ID Use Little research is available that specifically explored prevalence of college student Fake-IDs. 46% of respondents reported using a Fake-ID (Durkin, Wolfe, Phillips, 1996). 17.8% of students used a Fake-ID to obtain alcohol (Wechsler, Lee, Nelson, Kuo, 2002). Lotterhos, Glover, Holbert and Barnes (1988) explored the likelihood that students would obtain a Fake-ID in response to state law raising drinking age to 21. They found white, male students with high GPAs most like to indicate intentions.

    3. Purpose of the Study and Research Questions The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in use and attitudes about Fake-IDs between students affiliated and not affiliated with a fraternity/sorority. Are their differences in having a Fake-ID among affiliated and not affiliated students? Are there differences in general attitudes about Fake-IDs among affiliated and not affiliated students?

    4. Research Methods Used in This Study Data from a Fall, 2003 study of Off-Campus Parties coordinated by Michigan State. 12 institutions involved. All institutions used random sampling methods. 11-Random Sample of Undergrads; 1-Random Sample of On-Campus only. Each institution determined own local implementation methods. 10 Sampled 1,500; 2 Sampled Less than 1,500. 8 Print Versions via U.S. Mail; 4 Online Versions.

    5. Prevalence of Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students

    6. Use of Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students

    7. Prevalence and Use of Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students The proportion of fraternity/sorority members that have a Fake-ID is almost 3 times that of non-affiliated students that have one. This difference was statistically significant (X2(1) = 46.72, p < .001). Almost all fraternity/sorority members with a Fake-ID used it to get into a bar/club (92%). Although a majority of those with a Fake-ID used it to purchase alcohol directly, getting into a bar/club was a much more likely use.

    8. Attitudes About Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students

    9. Attitudes About Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students Students Affiliated with a Fraternity/Sorority Are Much more likely to believe their friends have one. This difference is statistically significant (t(3,610) = -10.14, p < .01). Much more likely to see nothing wrong with using it. This difference is statistically significant (t(3,590) = -4.91, p < .01). Much more likely to believe you need one for an active social life. This difference is statistically significant (t(3,601) = -6.18, p < .01). Much less likely to have friends discourage its use. This difference is statistically significant (t(3,128) = 3.10, p < .01).

    10. Attitudes About Fake-IDs Among Affiliated and Not Affiliated Students Across the board, students affiliated with a fraternity/sorority have less healthy attitudes about Fake-IDs. This is interesting when compared to the fact that affiliated students (2.86) are more familiar than students not affiliated (2.53) with the legal and financial consequences of Fake-ID Violations. This difference is statistically significant (t(3,627) = -5.91, p < .01).

    11. Implications of Study For Campus Based & (Inter)National Leaders Although Fake-ID prevalence in the general college population is relatively low, the fraternity/sorority movement should be significantly concerned about the trends in Fake-ID use among members. This was the largest difference in proportions of any of the demographic variables included in multiple analysis/studies, and indicates that something specific to the fraternity/sorority community may encourage the possession of Fake-IDs.

    12. Implications of Study For Campus Based & (Inter)National Leaders Better address Fake-IDs in educational and policy efforts with chapter members and leadership. Explore impact of use of age-restricted 3rd party vendors. Can your underage members easily get into establishments for chapter social events (but not get served)? Have all available venue-options been aggressively explored and information provided widely to chapters? Do local establishments need outreach educational efforts on why and how underage members can attend social events in their area without risk of serving alcohol to minors?

    13. Limitations of Study Related to Research Methods Employed Although all institutions used random samples, each established own collection procedures. Participating institutions volunteered for study-selected based only on willingness to participate. Language should be carefully considered. Fake-ID versus Fake-ID or borrowed the ID of someone over the age of 21. having versus using Fake-ID.
