No, I don't believe parents should be held responsible for their children's GLO dues. Joining a GLO is a choice made by the young man or woman, and the young man or woman should accept all the obligations that come with that choice - including financial ones. If the parents choose to help out, great, but it shouldn't be forced on them.

If a court has ordered that parent(s) pay for room and board, and the young man or woman joins a housed GLO and lives in house, it shouldn't matter that the "room and board" check is going to XYZ Fraternity/Sorority rather than the university - the parents should still pay for the portion related to room and board. But things like regular dues, initiation fee, badge fee - things that each member would have to pay whether the chapter had a house or not - should be the young person's responsibility unless the parents offer to pay.
