On March 23, The North Carolina Chapter's service committee organized an Alpha Zeta sponsored Red Cross Blood Drive on the North Carolina State University Campus in the Talley Student Center.

Their duties were to publicize the event on campus and assist at the donor site. Brothers displayed banners and fliers across the campus two days prior to the event.

On the day of the drive, brothers signed up for 1 hour shifts from 11:00am-4:00pm. Their duties were to check donors in, give them a name tag and provide them with reading material highlighting the requirements of donating blood.

They had 4 or more representatives at the event at all times and also served snacks and drinks to donors after they had given blood. Red Cross provided free t-shirts!

The Red Cross set a goal of 70 donors for the AZ event, and the NC Chapter had over 75 people check-in to donate. Seven Alpha Zeta brothers donated at the event, while a total of 18 helped throughout the day.

The Red Cross states that one donor can save up to three lives. This event was an excellent way for the chapter to serve the community at large and enabled them to promote service to the NC State community.
