EASTERN
STARS
EASTERN STARS:
The Order of the Eastern Star is the
largest fraternal organization in the
world that both men and women can join.
It was established in 1850. It is based
on teachings from the Bible, but is open
to people of all monotheistic faiths.
It has approximately 10,000 chapters in
twenty countries and approximately one
million members under its General Grand
Chapter.
Members of the Order are aged 18 and older;
men must be Master Masons and women must
have specific relationships with Masons.
Originally, a woman would have to be the
daughter, widow, wife, sister, niece,
sister-in-law or mother of a master Mason,
but the Order now allows Rainbows to become
members when they come of age.

SECTION 9A
THE
INTERNATIONAL
ORDER OF
THE Rainbow
FOR GIRLS
(IORG)
The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls
(IORG) is a youth service organization which
teaches leadership training through community
service.
Girls (ages 11-21) learn about the value of
charity and service through their work and
involvement with their annual local and Grand
(state or country) service projects.
The International Order of
the Rainbow for Girls, IORG,
http://www.iorg.org/
Emblem and heroines:
The emblem of the Order is a five-pointed star,
representing the Star of Bethlehem.
In the Chapter room, the downward-pointing white
ray points to the West. The character-building
lessons taught in the Order are stories inspired
by Biblical figures:
Adah:
(Jephthah's daughter,
from Judges)
Ruth:
the widow
Esther:
the wife
Martha:
(sister of Lazarus,
from the Gospel of John)
Electa:
(the "elect lady",
from II John),
the mother.
Officers:
There are 18
main officers
in a full chapter:
Worthy Matron,
presiding officer.
Worthy Patron,
provides general supervision.
Associate Matron,
assumes the duties of the
Worthy Matron in the absence
of that officer.
Associate Patron,
assumes the duties of the
Worthy Patron in the absence
of that officer.
Secretary.
Treasurer.
Conductress,
Leads visitors and initiations.
Associate Conductress,
Assists with introductions and
handles ballot box.
Chaplain,
leads the Chapter in prayer.
Marshall.
Organist.
Adah.
Ruth.
Esther.
Martha.
Electa.
Warder,
Sits next to the door
inside the meeting room,
to make sure those that
enter the chapter room
are members of the Order.
Sentinel,
Sits next to the door
outside the chapter room,
to make sure those that
wish to enter are members
of the Order.
Traditionally, a woman who is elected
Associate Conductress will the following
year be elected to Conductress, then the
next year Associate Matron, and the next
year Worthy Matron.
A man elected Associate Patron will usually
the next year be elected Worthy Patron.
Usually the woman who is elected to become
Associate Matron will let it be known who
she wishes to be her Associate Patron, so
the next year they will both go to the East
together as Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron.
There is no male counterpart to the Conductress
and Associate Conductress. Only women are allowed
to be Matrons, Conductresses, and the Star Points
(Adah, Ruth, etc.) and only men should be Patrons;
however, occasionally there is no male member of
the chapter and thus the position must be held by
a female.
FREEMASONRY
FREEMASONRY:
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization.
Members are joined together by shared
ideals of both a moral and metaphysical
nature and, in most of its branches, by
a constitutional declaration of belief
in a Supreme Being.
Organisationally, Freemasonry is governed
on a geographic basis by independent,
Sovereign Grand Lodges and Grand Orients
which may, or may not, be in a state of
mutual recognition.
Freemasonry is an esoteric society, in that
certain aspects of its internal work are not
generally disclosed to the public.
In recent years, Freemasons have stated that
Freemasonry has become less a secret society
and more of a society with secrets.
General requirements:
Generally to be a regular
Freemason, one must:
Be a man who comes of his own free will.
Traditionally Freemasons do not actively
recruit new members.
Believe in a Supreme Being.
Be at least the minimum age,
(18–25 years depending on the jurisdiction,
but commonly 21).
Be of sound mind, body and of good morals,
and of good repute.
Be free:
"born free", i.e. not born a slave or
bondsman.
Have one or two references from current Masons
(depending on jurisdiction).
