Only men who are Masons are eligible and only women with specific Masonic affiliation may be members. These affiliations include: - Affiliated Master Masons in good standing,
- the wives
- daughters
- legally adopted daughters
- mothers
- widows
- sisters
- half sisters

- stepdaughters
- stepsisters
- daughters-in-law
- grandmothers
- great granddaughters
- nieces
- mothers-in-law
- sisters-in-law
- majority rainbow girls
- majority jobs daughters
and daughters of sisters or brothers of affiliated Master Masons in good standing, or if deceased were in good standing at the time of their death; each of whom shall have attained to at least the age of eighteen (18) years, are eligible to membership in the Order of the Eastern Star.

As another PHQ & MM of Jobies, I will add that the 3-year rule should not need to apply to any member of Job's Daughters as in order to join, you must be related to a master mason by the same standards (or close) as OES requires. Also, I'd like to add The Order of the Amaranth (which I am a memeber) as a possibility in the Masonic family. There are a ton of other Masonic groups (White Shrine, Daughters of the Nile) for those individuals searching for a fraternal bond who did not have the opportunity to join a fraternity/sorority while in college for whatever reason.
