I can only guess at the logic, but the rule is Art 339. Lodge Shall Not Sponsor Other Organizations. No lodge shall stand as sponsor for any other organization, even though such organization be composed exclusively of Master Masons or the wives, sister, sons, daughters of Master Masons. Provided that this article shall not apply to the Chapters of the Order of DeMolay for boys, Assemblies of the Order of Ranbow Girls, and Bethels of the International Order of Job's Daughters. (revised 1989).
isnt one of the those barred now in Texas? Id guess to keep from a sponsored group getting in trouble and reflecting badly on Masonry. How bad would it look if a soccer coach was later found to have been abusing the kids and then the news saying the team was linked to the Masons? Just my first blush look at why possibly...
