This competitiveness is just how our campus is though, I'm not saying that all this stuff is right or wrong, but like I said before I am NOT surprised in the least.
I read in one of the articles on CNN I believe that Gamma Phi Beta is going to lose all their blood points which totally totally sucks that they're all getting punished for what this one girl did. And their partner, a large house who doesn't do homecoming and usually wins or at least places in Greek week, well I doubt they're going to be too happy with them.  It also said something about all the fraternities and sororities here are now going to have to go through blood safety education classes, which sounds really really boring, b/c we all already know the safety stuff. Some people just choose to ignore it obviously.

Co-sign...when I found out, I was like, too bad that same email has probably been sent on 14 other chapter listserves at Mizzou...
And am I the only one who thinks part of the blame lies on the Red Cross? She wanted girls to go and donate even if they shouldn't, using the excuse that they could tell the Red Cross workers to use the "Do Not Use My Blood" sticker...why is that even an option? A few people mentioned it was so that you could discretely exclude yourself from giving if you didn't want to say why, but you go through a rigorous round of questions (the "Have you had sex w/a man before 1974" comes to mind) before you give, therefore making that sticker kind of useless.
