How Millikin implemented the TIPS program

How the TIPS program impacted Millikin University students.

The Center for Studies on Alcohol Research
The Center for Studies on Alcohol (Westat) conducted a study to evaluate the potential effectiveness of the TIPS for the University program in reducing high-risk drinking behavior. The subjects were 3,406 members of a national college fraternity. Within 6-months of implementing TIPS, the study shows that fraternity members’ frequency of drinking, heavy drinking, and number of episodes a member drank to intoxication had all significantly declined.

Penn State University Evaluation
50 TIPS-trained students at PSU were asked various questions about the effectiveness of the TIPS program and TIPS trainers. 98% believed the TIPS program accomplished its goal, which was to provide the students with the confidence and interpersonal skills to intervene in difficult alcohol-related situations.

Phi Gamma Delta Endorsement Letter
The National Headquarters of Phi Gamma Delta requires that the majority of their chapters are TIPS trained.

Other Greek Endorsements
Over 100 Greek organizations have used TIPS training to prevent alcohol-related problems such as intoxication, drunk driving, underage drinking, property damage, and violence.

Other Campus Studies and Endorsements
More than 1,000 universities and colleges have used the TIPS for the University program.
