WHY DOES YOUR CAMPUS NEED BADD? Misuse of
alcohol by some college students greatly impacts the entire campus and
community. Not only is the individual drinker affected, but so are

WHERE DOES BADD FIT ON YOUR CAMPUS? This BADD chapter offers comprehensive prevention strategies that not only educate individuals but also foster a safer campus and community environment. Environmental prevention strategies ask the entire university community to play a role in preventing underage alcohol use and alcohol abuse. While it is ultimately an individual choice to consume alcohol in illegal and dangerous ways, most times there are numerous factors that condone and encourage these types of behaviors. From the ads in the student newspaper to the policies for underage alcohol use in dormitories, all facets of the university community play a role in encouraging or preventing dangerous behaviors. We are working to help eliminate these negative influences. BADD
complements existing programs that your campus may already offer. Many
peer education and social norm groups are doing a great job in helping to
educate and assist students on campus. This BADD chapter can fill in
the gaps by ensuring laws are being enforced consistently and by providing a
student voice in campus alcohol policy development. Our
influence and actions do not stop at the boundaries of ETSU. College
drinking behaviors can impact more than just this campus. BADD also
provides a bridge between campus and community to foster a healthy
collaboration to ensure a healthy and safe environment. If you are interested in joining BADD,
