Diversity in OES? (Eastern Star)
I am an employee of a local alternative paper heading the promotions team, new-hire flight attendant, Boys and Girls Club volunteer, student, and mother. As a proud woman, I am looking to join an organization based on sisterhood, faith, and community service. My experiences and the beliefs upheld by the order have sparked an interest in the Eastern Star. My Grandmother was a member, but she passed before I was old enough to really ask her about her experience. It seems to be a great option for me. But, I do have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to online. As a 26 year old Atlanta native, I grew up in a diverse community, surrounded by people from all walks of life. Is there a chapter that is diverse culturally, racially, as well as age-wise? Is this a non-existent concept within the order? Or, am I being a little too optimistic? From what I can conclude, there seems to be a racial divide in GA. There must be something in the Metro Atlanta area available to young, open-minded females looking to be a part of a positive social environment that is welcoming to women of all types. All information is greatly appreciated......THANK YOU!!!
