(Basically, if you can prove you are in some way or another related to a Mason who is paid up, you’re in.) Former members of Job’s Daughters and Rainbow Girls are also eligible to join. In order to be eligible to receive the degrees of Eastern Star, a woman must be a: wife, daughter, adopted daughter, mother, widow, sister, half sister, granddaughter, stepmother, stepdaughter, stepsister, daughter-in-law,grandmother, great granddaughter, niece, great niece, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or aunt of a Master Mason in good standing. They also provide a framework for introspective thought and philosophical discussion on ethical and spiritual topics. Like all Masonic organizations, they support membership when in need, both financially and emotionally. It’s more of an axillary group, that supports masonic lodges, masonic youth organizations, as well as their own agenda. It is a member of the Masonic family, but joining does not make a member a mason. The Order of the Eastern Star (or Eastern Star, or OES), is the world’s largest fraternal organization that can be joined by both men and women. (Yes, you read that right!)

We will be returning to your regularly scheduled programming next week, with an article on the first known woman to become a regular mason.
