It's not a necessity. No one ever tells you you absolutely HAVE to join a sorority or fraternity. It's a choice that we all made. If you want to be in a GLO, you know that you have to pay dues, and you should assume financial responsibility for it. GLO's are supposed to teach us to be mature, responsible adults, so how can we do that if we have to come to our parents and ask them to pay for our dues? I admit that I'm pretty spoiled and my parents pay for a lot of stuff, but they would never pay for my sorority dues, and I don't ask them to. I have a job, and pay them out of my own money.

That's a damned big assumption.
Lots of kids do things for their families that prohibit them from working over the summer, and many parents would rather pay for their kids' college (and other expenses) than have the kids be working jobs at all hours and have no free time to study.
I don't see how paying GLO dues is any different than parents paying for new clothes every week or a car. You don't "need" either of those things in college either.
