Abstract
The present study investigated the prevalence rates and functions of probable pathological and problem gambling behaviors between Greek (fraternity) affiliated and non-Greek men on a Midwestern university campus. The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS: Lesieur & Blume, 1987) and Gambling Functional Assessment (GFA: Dixon & Johnson, 2007) were given to a total of 200 volunteers which comprised 100 from each group, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups, with Greek men reporting higher probable gambling problems than non-Greek men.
