 The WCTU remains an internationally active organization.In American culture, although "temperance norms have lost a great deal of their power" and there are far fewer dry communities today than before ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment, there is still at least one WCTU chapter in almost every U.S. state and in 36 other countries around the world.Requirements for joining the WCTU include paying membership dues and signing a pledge to abstain from alcohol.
