College students who are members of groups in which appearance and alcohol norms are highly salient may be at particular risk for engaging in food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) behaviors. This study compared demographically-matched sorority- and non-sorority members on FAD and associated behaviors. College women who self-identified as being in a sorority ( = 95) were matched with non-sorority peers ( = 95) on age, body mass index (BMI), ethnicity, and race. Participants completed an online survey assessing alcohol use, eating disorder symptoms, appearance-related peer pressure, FAD behaviors, and demographic information. Mann-Whitney tests and generalized linear models tested hypotheses. Sorority members reported more alcohol use and FAD behaviors; however, after controlling for year in school, alcohol use, and eating disorder symptoms, Greek status no longer predicted FAD behaviors. Differences in FAD behaviors across sorority- and non-sorority women were due to differences in alcohol consumption.
在重视外表和饮酒规范的群体中，大学生可能特别容易出现饮食和饮酒紊乱（FAD）行为。本研究比较了在 FAD 和相关行为方面具有相似人口统计学特征的联谊会成员和非联谊会成员。自我认同为联谊会成员的女大学生（n=95）与非联谊会同龄人（n=95）在年龄、体重指数（BMI）、族裔和种族方面相匹配。参与者完成了一项在线调查，评估饮酒、饮食失调症状、与外表相关的同伴压力、FAD 行为和人口统计学信息。曼-惠特尼检验和广义线性模型检验了假设。联谊会成员报告的饮酒和 FAD 行为更多；然而，在校年限、饮酒和饮食失调症状控制后，希腊身份不再预测 FAD 行为。联谊会和非联谊会女性之间的 FAD 行为差异归因于饮酒量的差异。
