I don't think joining a GLO is the same as joining any other student organization on campus, not just for the "life-long" commitment, but for the current commitment. Miss a meeting of the Badminton Club, and it's not usually a big deal. Missing a fraternity/sorority meeting could mean anything from not knowing when a recruitment event is that week to loss of voting rights. Similarly, if after a year you decide that being a member of Car Repair Club isn't for you anymore, it's not hard to relinquish membership of that group. Resigning from a GLO is a much larger decision, that affects more than just the one person.
GLO's aren't like every other student organization. It's my thought that if we are going to hold ourselves to higher standards that other organizations in other areas such as community service, academics, etc. that we shouldn't be just like every other organization in how we recruit our members.
And just because something, such as the formal rush model, is efficient doesn't make it better than a model that takes more time but may be more beneficial (or any other positive adjective you'd want to put there).
Just my $2.
