For generations, AEPi brothers have been called to lead — not just within our chapters, but in our communities and around the world. Through our partnership with Gift of Life Marrow Registry, we are extending that commitment to something truly life-changing, helping save lives through bone marrow and stem cell donations.
Every year, thousands of patients battling blood cancers and other genetic disorders depend on finding a matching donor. AEPi brothers have answered that call, hosting swab drives across campuses and recruiting new potential donors to join the registry. Each swab represents hope — a chance that one simple act could give someone else the future they deserve.
A swab drive is simple, meaningful, and deeply impactful. Volunteers set up an on-campus event where fellow students can join the Gift of Life registry by completing a quick cheek swab — a painless, noninvasive process that takes only minutes. These collected samples are used to identify potential donor matches for patients in need of a life-saving transplant. By organizing a swab drive, your chapter could help find the next match, or even save the next life.
Across the fraternity, our collective impact continues to grow. Every swab taken, every match made, and every life saved reflects the power of our brotherhood in action. AEPi’s partnership with Gift of Life stands as a testament to what can happen when values meet purpose, when young leaders decide that doing good is part of being great.
Your chapter can be part of this mission! Hosting a donor recruitment event is straightforward, and the Gift of Life team provides all the materials, training, and support you’ll need to make it a success.
