The season of fun in the sun runs blood supplies low when people who give blood regularly go on vacations and have other worries on their minds.
Traffic accidents increase with more cars on the road, which in turn increases trauma patients.
The Fourth of July and Labor Day are prime times for accidents and with a low supply of your favorite life-saving liquid, mortality rates increase as well. We'll give you a break this time because people don't know about the blood drive on campus. Greeks aren't around to promote the drive and compete with each other to see which house can give up the most bodily fluids. Don't give blood because someday your friends or family might have surgery or a transfusion and need the blood to live. Don't give it out of a sense of love for other human beings.
