My parents saw college as a privilege, it wasn't something that my sister or I had to do. We were expected to pay our own way through, just like my dad did when he went to school. My parents paid my first semester dues (before I moved into the house) and I paid for the rest of the semesters. I'm still paying for them and will be for quite some time - ie. student loans. I don't see anything wrong with people whose parents pay for their education, that's their choice. If I have the ability when I have my own kids, I will be helping them out.
As far as sorority dues and child support go, I think it would all depend on how the child support is stipulated. ie. If the non-resident parent providing the child support has to pay X amount of dollars per year and those funds cover dues, I don't have an issue with it. One of my sorority sisters education was funded because her dad had to pay whatever the instate tuition in her home states public school(s). This allowed her to go out-of-state.
