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.

ok, so the fact that my parents wanted to pay for my sorority dues is sad? i'm definitely going to have to disagree with you on that. i didn't ask my parents to pay for anything, they wanted to. they didn't have that experience and they wanted me to get out of going away to school, everything that i possibly could, including being in a sorority. i'll also admit that i'm very spoiled, but i don't think that the fact that they paid for my sorority dues is a bad or sad thing.
