Blood bank hold drive on Greek Row

Aurora Blood Bank will be on Greek Row to collect blood from donors today from 1:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. at the Sigma Sigma Sigma house, 1202 Blackhawk.

Alpha Phi and Phi Sigma Kappa will also volunteer to give blood. Tri-Sigma member Lynn Alig said they have been participating in the blood drive “every year for at least five years,” and they plan to continue to help the blood bank out.

There are more than 80 people signed up to give a pint of blood, which is one-tenth of the blood in the body, Alig said. It is open to the public and “anyone can come at anytime” during the day, she said.

Tri-Sigma member Carrie Beck said, “We really enjoy doing it,” and it is “not only important to our chapter,” it is also important to the community.”

Donors will be provided with refreshments of cookies and juice.
