What It Is: 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 currently more than 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.

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.
Projects: Concrete evidence of the charitable nature of the
organization as it affects others is the millions of dollars which
have been raised within the membership to support national, jurisdictional,
and local charities. Many Grand Jurisdictions have homes for their
senior members.
