Give Blood, Save Lives

On Tuesday April 1st from 12-6 p.m., Chi Phi is hosting a blood drive at our house, located at 290 S. Lumpkin St. just south of the Holiday Inn.  This simple 30-minute procedure actually helps saves lives and with the help of more UGA students, we could increase our state’s blood supply.  All blood givers will receive free pizza and T-shirts for donating blood. 

In the past, Chi Phi has been extremely successful in donating blood.  Last year The Red Cross awarded Chi Phi with a plaque saying the fraternity donated more blood at our blood drive than any other fraternity in UGA history.  This Tuesday we expect to break that record, but only with the help of other UGA students, Greek affiliates or not. 

Since receiving this award almost a year ago, Chi Phi started hosting blood drives every nine weeks because one can only give blood once every eight weeks.  At past blood drives the majority of Chi Phi brothers and their close friends have given blood, but we want to outsource to the whole university.  So, if you’re interested in a quick, easy way to help save lives and have some time to spare between classes, make your way over towards north campus to give some blood.
