One disciplinary action our Panhellenic uses for Recruitment infractions is requiring community service hours. The new members are specifically prohibited from being the ones who do them since they didn't cause the infraction. The service project must be submitted and approved by Panhellenic. A representative from the service organization must be willing to keep track of attendance/hours completed. Then if the hours aren't completed by a specific date, the total hours needed is increased.
The problem with that sort of punishment is that the sorority can go turn it around and submit it towards campus and their group's national/international awards. It should absolutely come with some caveat that the service cannot count towards any local or national requirements and cannot count towards any rewards of any sort.
