The Red Hat Society is more like a sorority than a dinner club.
Remaining inclusive. Much like fraternities and sororities, both groups are single sex only. "I'm married, and I know when I am with couples it is a different experience," says Granich. "When you are with girlfriends, you can let your hair down and just be yourself."
Many of the men's groups, however, sometimes invite their spouses and significant others. "We give the ladies a chance three times a year," says Pierman. "But when you have the women there, you talk about different things." And at least one Romeo group said it wouldn't be opposed to a Juliet member. "I suppose if a woman wanted to join the group, we wouldn't object to it," says Gliick. "But why would a woman want to hang out with a bunch of old goats like us?"
