[Cardinal026]

My grandparents are still very involved in Masons/Eastern Star/Job's Daughter's, etc. My parents met through some sort of Demolay (sp?) and Job's Daughter's social. It was something that I was very aware of growing up, seeing lots of pictures of my mom as a Past Honored Queen, etc.

When I was around 11, my grandparents started really pushing me to get involved w/ Job's Daughters. I refused, because I thought it was ridiculous that they had some sort of a secret that no one else could no about, and didn't want to join something without fully knowing what I was getting into.

I really regret that decision now, and keep meaning to start being involved - especially after getting to see one of my 15 year old little sister's open ceremonies, and realizing for the first time that the "secret" is really no different from my sorority's ritual. So yes, I would join a masonic lodge now, if I were male, and do plan on becoming involved one day on the female end.
