What is Eastern Star?
The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonically-related fraternity
of women and men dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness. Although
not a part of the Masonic fraternity, membership is based on a Masonic
affiliation or relationship, a belief in God, and a desire to acquire additional
knowledge and for self improvement.
The degrees of the Order of the Eastern Star teach lessons of fidelity,
constancy, loyalty, faith and love. These degrees are presented in a beautiful
ritualistic ceremony designed to not only teach the lessons, but also to
provide insight for future study and understanding.
Local Eastern Star Chapters select their own charities and places
of service in their own communities. Some statewide projects include scholarships
for ministerial students, other general scholarships for youth, and supporting
a home for aged members. Each year special charities are selected for that
year`s emphasis and might include volunteer programs in elementary schools
or volunteers in literacy programs and specific community outreach.
Eastern Star proudly support young women`s organizations such as
Rainbow for Girls and Job`s Daughters. Many Chapters actively support DeMolay
for Boys.
The Eastern Star is also a social organization with frequent formal
events and ceremonies. Being a member is a wonderful and a fulfilling way
of life. Please ask an Eastern Star to tell you more about it!
