“Sorority apologizes after members were urged to lie about health in blood drive competition

COLUMBIA, Mo. - The national office of a sorority whose members were urged to lie about their health to boost turnout in a competitive campus blood drive apologized Tuesday.

In a statement from its national office in Colorado, Gamma Phi Beta said it "regrets the e-mail sent regarding mandatory participation in a campus-wide blood drive and apologizes to the community, the Red Cross and campus."

The American Red Cross tells those who are sick or have recently received tattoos or piercings not to donate blood, both to protect the health of donors and to lessen the risk of transmitting diseases to recipients.

In an e-mail sent last Tuesday to about 170 members of Gamma Phi Beta, sophomore Christie Key, the chapter's blood donation coordinator, wrote: "I dont care if you got a tattoo last week LIE. I dont care if you have a cold. Suck it up. We all do. LIE. Recent peircings? LIE."

She added: "Even if youre going to use the Do Not Use My Blood sticker, GIVE ANYWAY." Donors who have second thoughts at the donation site can discreetly attach a sticker to a health questionnaire indicating their blood shouldn't be used.”

“See the "Which college to go to?" thread...”

“Oops, make that the What college to go to? thread...”

“BLLZZZZT! I hope they give you some of that blood, bit!”

“ppphhhhhhbbbtttttt....”

“I'd like a shot 120 proof AB+.”

“People who get tranfusions will probably have an uncontrollable urge to chug from a beer bong!”
