Letter to the Editor: The Value of All-Female Organizations

To the Editor:

As an alumna of the College and a member the Bee, I find the recent final club fracas narrow minded and missing the voice of a woman who benefited from a single sex social outlet. The camaraderie and confidence that women's clubs foster can mitigate the social imbalance of the dominant male clubs, and do more for young women than hewing to the calls for co-ed clubs, or abolishing them altogether. The latter would not solve sexual misconduct, but it would thwart the vital option of all-female fellowship on campus.
