Clan Donald does too, if memory serves. Most do not. Most only require that there is some connection to the Scottish name that is the name of the chief, or the name of an associated family of said clan (I really don't like the word "sept"). There are some, however, who only require that you wish to join them in their activities.

Thank you, Todd. Since I am a member of the clan society of which you are president, I must say that my experience with my clan society has been positive. I cannot say that about another clan society to which I once belonged.
