Program Assessment

Tightrope incorporates assessment questions to evaluate each participant’s relationship with alcohol and other drug use.  Assessment questions are based on statistically valid, nationally recognized surveys that quantify and document college students’ attitudes, perceptions, and opinions about alcohol and other drugs (AOD). The surveys also measure behaviors of actual AOD use and consequences of use that will allow organizations to compare their members to national norms.  Likewise, Greek organizations participating in the program will have the ability to compare their members to others in the fraternal community.  All assessment data will be available to the organization with the freedom to utilize as theychoose.
