No, blood drive isn't mandatory, but we had 70% either give blood or work at the blood drive. Some people just couldn't give blood because of illness, tattoos, or whatever else.
We had a lot of fun with the games, and afterwards, we went swimming in the lake on campus with the Chi O's, because they won the girls greek games. The events were: Cart, Obstacle course, mystery, canoe race, pyramid, and tug-o-war.
For cart, it's a relay with 2 guys pushing a go-cart(with no engine obviously) and one guy driving. O-Course is pretty self explanatory. Mystery is different every year. Panhellenic came up with it this year. It was a relay type thing with different parts, crab walk, piggy back ride, spinning around a bat and sprinting back, passing a lifesaver with toothpicks, that kind of thing. The canoe race is a relay. One team of 2 guys goes a lap, brings the canoe back, and then the other team does another lap. For pyramid, 15 guys sprint about 40 yards, and build a pyramid at the end. I was in that one. Tug is a one ton tug. You're allowed as many guys as you want, but in total, they can't weigh over a ton.
We won cart, canoe and tug. We win tug like every year.
