ron,

the leading authority on the ecological approach to alcohol use on college campuses is Henry Wechsler at Harvard His center might likley have surveys.
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/cas/

join together has tons of resources and links. I would start with their resource database.
http://www.jointogether.org

Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has a bit dated comprehensive strategy paper with decent references http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/Reports/Panel02/Panel02_TOC.aspx
Note: this report is on a larger website deovoted to campus alcohol abuse prevention http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/

finally, off the top of my bookmarks : P there is a good article (albeit a couple of years old) titled, Evaluating the alcohol environment: community geography and alcohol problem. Alcohol Research & Health, Wntr, 2002 by Paul J. Gruenewald, Lillian Remer, Rob Lipton online at
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CXH/is_1_26/ai_90681219

ps. all the links worked this am. it is up to you to make them work if your email software breaks the loonger urls. : )
