Cleaning up your own mess is not a public service
While walking my dog Sunday morning, I saw a Coastal Carolina University fraternity performing what was supposed to be a “community service” project. The guys had trash bags and were cleaning out the ditch around the Coastal Club Apartments.
If cleaning up the beer cans and miscellaneous trash, food, cigarette butts, etc. that your peers are too lazy to dispose of properly in their own complex is considered community service, I strongly suggest that your adult advisers reevaluate their standards as to what exactly is community service.
This is like getting drunk on Saturday and picking up the mess on Sunday, and getting a pat on the back for it. I'd send this letter to the university, but any complaints to them in the past were mostly ignored. “We'll look into it,” and hearing nothing, doesn't cut it.
