Alpha Phi and Chi Phi Health Week Events

This past Wednesday on October 26th, the Lehigh Alpha Phi sorority and Chi Phi Fraternity partnered together to host a local blood drive with the Miller-Keystone Blood Center. The Miller-Keystone Blood Center comes to Lehigh University annually to hold a blood drive open to the public as well as Lehigh Students. Members of the Alpha Phi sorority either donated blood or worked a table where gift cards were handed out to donors. Collette Kissell, a member of Alpha Phi, donated blood for the first time at this blood drive and was elated to be able to help someone else. Collette said that the staff were very kind and made the process a great experience. 

In addition to hosting the Blood Drive, Alpha Phi and Chi Phi hosted a CPR training certification course. Autumn Hill, the Vice President of Health, Wellness, and Accountability, said that the instruction course was very interactive and informative. The instructor was a junior in Chi Phi and as Autumn put it, "he was super knowledgeable with answering questions and covering all topics. The participants of the course were able to get into groups while practicing with mannequins, they were also able to practice with an AED replica. Alpha Phi and Chi Phi had a successful week of educating students and giving back to the community and are looking forward to upcoming collaborations involving philanthropy.
