same as mal did. I had to perform 30 hours of community service for 8th grade graduation, for high school that number was pushed to 75 hours.

During that time it severely cut into the hours that I had available for work so it essense it took money out of my pocket to do the volunteering. But the trade off was for the best since it created a foundation of volunteering for me. My sister who did not have these same requirements, does not share the same values of community volunteering that I do. I believe that if she had to do the same thing she'd be much more active in the community. Both her and her husband were involved in the greek system but I don't see the impact on volunteering from those involved in the greek systems aside from fund raising.
