Sorry for the lane swerve, but I have a slight issue with using community service as a punishment. Besides the possibility to use it for positive recognition, I think it sends a really bad message to say that community service is a punishment. Yes, it is a way to provide positive results from a bad situation, but at what cost? If our organizations are trying to promote a positive image of leadership, scholarship, service, and brotherhood/sisterhood we should not be doling out something we want to do as a penalty for rule breaking.
Just my two cents...
