I'm the Associate Patron of Plano Chapter #703, Grand Chapter of Texas, OES. If all goes well and I don't screw up (
) I will more than likely be elected Worthy Patron next year.
You have to have a male relative (father, grandfather, uncle, grand-uncle, husband) who is a Mason in good standing (read: dues paid and current, not under suspension) in order to be eligible for membership in OES. Males wishing to join OES must be Master Masons in good standing, and must maintain it throughout their membership.
If you are (or were) a Rainbow Girl or Job's Daughter who has been a member for over three years or have reached their 'majority member' status (at least 18 years old), you are also welcomed to petition as well.
