Why OU Students Donate

Blood donation has long been a part of OU campus culture. From Greek life philanthropy events to athletics-affiliated drives, the Sooner community consistently shows up to support Our Blood Institute's mission of keeping Oklahoma's blood supply stable.

Campus Culture & Greek Life

OU Greek chapters regularly organize blood drives as part of their community service commitments. These drives are open to all OU students and community members, not just chapter members. Pre-health student organizations also participate, using blood donation as a way to accumulate community service hours and gain exposure to medical settings.

Athletics Drives

OU athletics-affiliated drives typically coincide with football season and other major sporting events, drawing large numbers of donors from the broader Norman community. These are excellent opportunities to donate while connecting with fellow Sooner fans.
