Do YOU Give Blood? American Red Cross Blood Drive

The Interfraternity Council and of Fraternity and Sorority Life work together to hold blood drives each semester. Giving blood is a critical function and we urge everyone that is able to give blood-to sign up and make it happen!

Here are a few facts about blood donation from the American Red Cross:

• 1 donation can save up to 3 lives • Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood

• Less than 38% of the population is eligible to give blood or platelets • The blood type most often requested by October 13, 2020 Blood Drive in North Manser hospitals is Type O

Because of the pandemic many blood drives were Our October 2020 Blood postponed or cancelled creating an urgent need for blood. We hope you’ll think about donating the next time a blood drive happens in your area! Drive goal was 36 Units of

Blood. We were able to collect 37 Units for a successful blood drive.

Business as Usual Getting Stuff Done During the Pandemic

Zoom meetings became the norm during the Pandemic and our Fraternity and Sorority Life meetings were no different. Students quickly adapted to meeting virtually and getting business done. Over the course of the fall semester students planned community service, voted for new officers and planned recruitment-all over Zoom.
