Besides basking in my babacious blogvasion of (b)alliterations, the upstanding gentlemen of the spring 2008 pledge class of Beta Theta Pi ran a very successful blood drive on April 14, raking (or rather pumping out with a large bore needle) 42 pints of blood.
The drive was supported by the New York Blood Center, a local bar that donated a keg for our 21+ donors, Ben and Jerry’s, who donated an ice cream cake (cheap bastards), and 15 pairs of tickets to a Mets game courtesy of the fraternity.
Throughout the day, members of the pledge class, as well as two pledge fathers, volunteered at the drive (where the hell were you?). “Snaps” to the Beta brothers for a fantastic turnout and for maintaining Beta’s good reputation on campus. Indeed, Beta’s recent work comes as a refreshing change to the more unpleasant habits of various fraternities that will remain unnamed to protect The Commentariat from a libel case.
