Lending a hand to living donors


Phi Sigs reported for volunteer duty at the Living Donor Ceremony this afternoon. It was an emotional tribute to people, just like our sister Gretchen Ehle, who made the decision to donate an organ (usually a kidney or part of a liver) to a loved one or even a complete stranger. (More about Gretchen's experience at the Games - and her living-donor story soon.)

As always, our women are everywhere and doing everything to make these Games a success!

This ceremony was so neat. Afterward we were to hand out "Life Stars" to the living donors. The lady that created the life star said that it represented a star that her donor's family picked out in the sky to remind them of him after he passed. The spiral in the middle represented ongoing life.
