I don't feel that GLO dues should be forced upon parents who pay child support. However, I don't understand the backlash against those people who do not pay their own dues. Does it really matter to you who pays? I admire those who work very hard to be able to afford fraternity or sorority membership. BUT if parents are willing to pay, what is the problem?
I have a job, and I work. I pay lots of bills for myself. My parents pay for my dues because they know that it's a large expense and they have seen the benefits of membership. I think it's ridiculous that those who don't pay their own dues are painted as moochers or lazy kids.
Also, keep in mind the wide variation between dues across the country. If my dues were $100 or less, I would be able to pay for them myself... but I'm sure that many more girls on GC pay much more money than I do.
