No way!!
I don't think this has anything to do with Greek organizations at all. When you join, you are usually made aware of the fact that the chapter does comm. service. Plus, you can quit any time you want.
If a private school wants to require you to go to chapel twice a day and do 100 hours of comm service a month, they can. They're a private entity.
But students at a PUBLIC high school should not be required to do community service, any more than they should be required to be in extracurricular activities or play sports. You can't make something that is non-academic part of an academic degree.
Plus, I agree that it completely degrades what community service really is. I sure as heck would not want my grandparents to be in a nursing home with adolescents who are being forced to be there doing "service."
