I fully support freedom of association for any group. Neither of my two sons wanted to join a Sorority and neither of my two daughters wished to become a member of any of the Fraternities. Sororities and Fraternities are private organizations that choose their own members and require that the members be of a specific gender. Every one that I know of receives government aid either directly or indirectly.

Most Masonic Lodges are men only while The Daughter of the American Revolution is restricted to women. Trying to distinguish these organizations from a Country Club is equally as sensible as debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. The basic idea of freedom is to allow people to do what they want so long as it does not hurt others. As I’ve told my children, you have every right to swing your arms, but that right ends where another person’s nose begins.
