I have no idea if G Phi does this, but many sororities at Mizzou fine if you don't give or have 3 people give for you. My wallet would be motivation to do something like that.

I'm not attacking you at all, so I hope it's not seen as such. While I see your point that the sororities have made blood donation "mandatory," I have a problem with it being mandatoru--- this isn't like not coming to a meeting or attending a workshop-- this is an instrument invading your body and drawing out fluids. I'd like to see where in those chapters' bylaws this is mandatory, and what national officer approved those bylaws. An organization can't make someone do something they don't feel comfortable doing, or something they are not physically able to do. I mean, how many of us have ever been asked to put a hand on a bible, and if you weren't Christian, you were allowed to abstain, and still take part in the activity.... I feel this mandatory is more of an urban legend-like belief. There's no way a sorority regional director could approve something like that, and it's something that's become "required" through heresay.
