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.

I guess I'm in the "pretty sad people in GLO's" group. My mom worked extremely hard through high school and got tons of scholarships so that her family wouldn't have to pay tuition. She paid for everything EXCEPT GLO, because that was her mom's gift to her through college. And now, I worked extremely hard through high school to get my scholarships and last time I checked it was my bank account that covers the rest of tuition. So really, I don't think i should be considered "sad" because my mom wants to pay for dues.
