Re: IS it voluntary?
I had to do 75 hours of community service in high school (public.) I had to do 50 hours of community service in middle school (Catholic). It wasn't a big deal at all. My friends and I didn't gripe about being candy-stripers, it was fun and taught us some responsibility.
As for calling community service in Greek organizations hazing, that is ridiculous. Most organizations take pride in their philanthropies and our philanthropies are one aspect of Greek life that justifies our existence. Just because we are required to do community service every once in awhile does not mean we are being hazed...if that was the case, our initiations and chapter meetings would be hazing, too, simply because we are required to attend.
If you happen to miss a mandatory event, the worst thing that happens to you is you are fined. Then life goes on.
