Do you have to pay dues or a membership fee to these groups? If all you want to do is go out and have a girls night out or a lunch date with some girlfriends I say go have fun (just don't drink and drive!)
It'll be interesting to see what kind of lasting value these orgs have.

I emailed one of the founders of the Blue Thong Society and recieved this response from their corporate attorney.
“In response to your questions regarding the corporate status of Blue Thong Society, Inc., here is the information that should help you. Blue Thong Society, Inc. is a privately owned corporation that is operated on a “for profit” basis. It is not a 501(c) charitable organization. The Board of Directors are elected by the shareholders who are the owners of the company. I hope this answers your questions.”
In other words, we are in the business to make our founders very wealthy women.
I quit.
