But a GLO is essentially a social group than in some places has housing. I think the idea is that you are paying for more access to social events and therefore people than the average person would have without membership.

If there wasn't a "more" component, I don't think anyone would join. I just think we are sensitized to the words "buying our friends".

But most of us would make them whether we pledged or not -- just like everone else. So, in some ways, saying that is more of an insult to you than to the fact that you joined a sorority, or the sorority system itself -- implying that you CAN'T make friends without your GLO.

I think there are a lot more, and better, reasons to belong, so I have to disagree in this case.
