Today Kappa Alpha Order hosted a blood drive on the quad. I helped run it after my 8am class till my 12:30 class. A blood drive was a good source of philanthropy from our fraternity. But I've got to say, I noticed the lack of care by the students here at Texas State.
I tried to get people to participate by friendly conversation or just simply voicing out to the everyone in general what we were doing. Most kids would say not today, or they can't, or just flat out no. A lot of people would just ignore me or just walk by fast to avoid confrontation. I don't understand why people just give a little time to help or at least show some common courtesy.
However, throughout the day a lot of people have signed up and participated. Many kids went in without question, some I had to talk into, and others I asked what time it was over so they could come in later. I myself gave blood for the first time today, and really good. little drained, literally, physically, but happy I could help out.
The blood drive went well and I'm proud to have helped. Our fraternity had a successful event and that means good news for all!
