10:00am – 3:00pm

Location:

LBJ Bus Loop

Members of the Greek community are encouraged to donate blood at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center Blood Bus, which will be located towards the exit of the LBJ bus loop. The area will be located in front of the Capstone Cottage bus stop; this is the area that is on a decline as you exit.

There will be a table near the bus where members can sign in and their chapter will receive points for their donation. If a member goes to donate but is declined because they do not meet the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center’s requirements, their chapter will still receive points.

Anyone who is 16 years old weighing 120 pounds (with parental consent form), or at least 17 years old weighing 110 pounds, and in good general health can donate blood. Additional requirements for other procedures may apply. As a prospective donor you must bring some form of identification (driver’s license, passport, etc.) in order to register. Before you donate you must first fill out a health history questionnaire concerning your medical history, lifestyle, and risk of exposure to infectious agents. Your answers to these questions will help us determine whether or not you are an eligible donor. Next, you will go through a screening process. Below is a link to the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center’s website where additional information can be found.

GREEK WEEK 2015 Point System

(Overview of how the points will be awarded throughout the events of Greek Week)

Greek Week Merchandise Points:

For each individual chapter member who purchases a merchandise package, points will be added

to your team’s overall score based upon the percentage of your chapter that purchases packages.

The “Everything” Package is worth 5 points, “Texas” package is worth 3 points, and the

“Greek Week” Package is worth 1 point going to your group depending on which is purchased.

Points will be added by the percentage of your chapter who purchases each package level by

“Everything” package - 5 X 1 = 5 points or 20% of chapter members purchase

“Everything” package – 5 X 2 = 10 points. If 10% of chapter members purchase

“Everything” package – 5 X 1 = 5 points and 30% of chapter members purchase “Texas”

package – 3 X 3 = 9 points the chapter would earn a total of 14 additional points to their
