Membership
What is the Order of the Eastern Star?
The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to
which both men and women may belong. Worldwide, there are approximately
1 million members under the General Grand Chapter.
Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values but it
is not a religion. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members. It is the wholesome relationship of
sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principles exemplified in
our lives which makes us near and dear to each other.
While this is an Order composed of people of deep spiritual convictions, it is open to all faiths, except no faith. The personal welfare of our members is vital to all of those in the Eastern Star and it is considered a privilege to help another member whenever we can.
What is the Purpose of the Order of the Eastern Star?
The stated purposes of the organization are: Charitable, Educational, Fraternal and Scientific; but there is much more to it than that. Dr. Rob Morris, the Poet Laureate of Masonry, founded the Order using beautiful and inspiring biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values. These portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Star members. Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, and through precept and example, build an Order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness.
Who is Eligible to be a Member?
Men who are Master Masons in good standing of a regular Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity.
Female relatives who are related by birth, marriage or adoption to a past or present Master Mason in good standing of a regular Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity.
