Donating blood is not for everyone. I donate and have done so since I was an undergrad and went with my big sis to my first blood drive Not everyone qualifies medically and there should not be pressure to donate. Trust me, passing out in front of several really good looking frat guys may seem like a good way to get a hug but it's really, really embarrasing!

Having this be one of several service opportunities in which GLOs can compete for the most "hours donated" and counting a blood donation as an hour served would make more sense (and, indeed, back in the dark ages when I was an undergrad, that was the system we used). Typically, there were more volunteers for blood drives than they could use (unless you were a nursing major, you could only work the canteen or transport... hmmm, serve cookies and get service points? Hey, sign me up!!)
