The Order of the Eastern Star is not a “secret society.” Secret societies are underground and hard to find. We are easily found within the community. We do enjoy a distinctive means of identifying each other, and only members are allowed in a closed meeting.

Financial position is not considered in the Order. Members come from all economic stations of life.

We only require a belief in the existence of a Supreme Being.

After your Initiation into our Order, you may attend meetings and social affairs, and work on fundraising projects as your time permits. There is no “required” obligation of time.

There is no mandatory memory work, except the means of making yourself known if you want to visit another Chapter or if you become an officer.
