No, you were perpetuating incorrect information. You said, and I quote with emphasis:

Chi Omega, a wonderful organization, is not "the largest women's organization" in the United States.

According to Chi Omega's national website, it is "the largest women’s fraternal organization in the world with over 290,000 initiates and 171 collegiate chapters." According to the website of the Girl Scouts of the USA, "Today, there are 3.3 million Girl Scouts—2.4 million girl members and 928,000 adult members working primarily as volunteers."

Awesome what can be found on the web in 2 minutes.

There are many ways to refer to "women's organizations" but as far as women's GLOs, Chi Omega is the largest nationally. This was not a bragging point but merely correcting someone before me.
As noted above, though, that's not what you said. You said the largest women's organzation, not women's GLO. When a claim like this is made, accuracy matters.

Speak for yourself. I'm sporting some Y chromosomes, as are a number of other folks around here.
