I think that there are many worthwhile organizations that probably have individual members who might act in a discriminatory way. But if the aims of the groups were noble and the groups itself wasn't fundamentally about discrimination, I can see why a person might be worried about discrimination and interested in joining at the same time.
As an overly simply example, suppose I want to be a volunteer firefighter. If the group is presently overwhelmingly male, I might wonder if my being female is going to be a problem in my full inclusion in the group. Now, I know that I can force my way into the firefighters if I'm otherwise qualified in a way that's different from a social sorority, but I don't think the fundamental question of whether other people's tendency to discriminate will be a problem is much different.
I don't think the OP indicated any fundamental self esteem issues or craziness by asking.
