The purpose of these youth groups is to train these fine young citizens to be leaders in the community and to be future members and leaders in the Order of the Eastern Star. Additional charities are also supported. Secret societies are underground and hard to find. Only members are allowed in a closed meeting. Financial position is not considered in the Order.
Members come from all economic stations of life.
Members of all religions may belong to the Order of the Eastern Star. We only require a belief in a Supreme Being. After your Initiation into our Order during a regular meeting, you may attend as your time permits. There is no mandatory memory work except the means of making yourself known if you wish to visit a Chapter, or if you become an officer. A short proficiency examination is strictly voluntary, but encouraged.
