I'm very serious about the Order of the Eastern Star, but I also don't take anything personally because I am secure with all aspects of my organization. It would take a lot for someone to upset me when asking a question about OES because I understand that people really don't & won't understand. & they probably have seen or noticed some things that are questionable. If the question is too far out there then I just ignore it laugh inside & keep going.
I do not feel that you are being insensitive when it comes to your observation. Traditionally certain groups such as PHA F&AM are predominantly black, but one of my sisters i was initiated with is white and she is wonderful, another is mixed and she is just as wonderful as well.
I feel that Masonic & Greek organizations are beautiful & helpful aspects of uplifting many of our communites world wide. They also have had strong roots in advancing the status of blacks. I just encourage everyone to keep on pushing & serving to make things a little bit easier and better for others!
Have a wonderful day!
