You probably heard about that splash the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority of Washington State University made May 3 at Coeur d’Alene City Park. Literally. Several of the young women were caught on camera urinating against the back wall of the North Idaho Museum. Four bus loads of young women and invited friends took part in a wasted weekend that included a cruise tour on Lake Coeur d’Alene and a whole lotta Jose Cuervo. But did you know that the sorority has made amends, in a big way? About 100 of the sorority sisters visited Coeur d’Alene on Sept. 6 to clean up the waterfront. A third of the sisters spruced up the greenhouse and community garden area behind the Jewett House on Sanders Beach. One third cleaned up the public part of Sanders Beach. And the final third joined Huckleberries blog favorite “Walkabout” to pick up litter on nearby Tubbs Hill/ DFO , SR Sunday Huckleberries. More here .

Question: Does this day of community service balance the scales for the earlier, wilder first visit by Kappa Kappa Gamma to the Lake Coeur d’Alene waterfront in the spring?
