Order of the Eastern Star

Sterling · #1 06-10-2000, 12:24 AM

Just a question, would anyone posting happen to be a member of the Order of the Eastern Star as well as a member of Delta Sigma Theta?
Just wondering if there may be any conflict?? Thank you.

No, there is no conflict. I've been a Star since July of 1995 and a Delta since Spring '97. A great many of my sorors are also sisters of the Order; one sisterhood can only enhance the other (not hurt it), and both organizations are characterized by Christian principles. The only difference is that masonic fraternal organizations are MUCH deeper than greek-letter organizations. I am not undermining my Deltahood by any means-- our Sisterhood is DEEP, too! But, the roots of the Prince Hall family run back to the 1700s. My experiences with OES helped me endeavor through my intake process for DST, so I have no regrets!

If you don't mind me asking, exactly what are the Christian principles each organization are founded on?

I am also a member of the Order of Eastern Star as of May 20, 2006 Laurel Creek Chapter No. 165. I am very new to this organization, but very proud to be a member of it. I am also interested in learning more information about Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. and the members here on greekchat!

Mighty Mom:

There are a few things that you must remember. People are people, regardless of the organizations' that they are affiliated with. In all organizations, from Greek to church, there are members who put the other Greek organization or church down. There are also people that will love their organization, defend it by any means, and remain loyal. Remember, if I am not Prince Hall then I can not truly tell you about Prince Hall because I am not a member I could never give you an actual statement about experience in their shoes because I have not walked in them. I am basically trying to say. Everything that you have heard is not true. Should you go Prince Hall? Only you can determine that. I suggest that you look beyond the recognition and look into the organization itself. Affiliate you self with members who are Prince Hall and those who are not and you make the decision that feels good in your heart. I love my organization and my lodge, I would not trade this siStarhood for the world!!!! Good Luck!

Hi, I am interested in becoming a member of OES but my grandfather, who was a member is deceased and I don't have is lodge information. Is their anyway that I can still become a member? because I am close friends with mason's but as you know, they are very secretive about the organization. Thank you!

Did you read this thread?

BlessedKMJ · #12 11-03-2008, 10:03 PM

Yes, I read the thread but if I wasn't still confused I woudn't have asked. Some people tell me that I don't need affiliation but only a petition from masons and others tell me differently. For this reason, I am still asking the question; do you have to have family affiliation to join? Thank you.

And the answer seems to be it depends and to talk with your local affiliate or visit the OES website.

Okay, After serious research I discovered that Georgia has "open blood line" in January and February. I called to inquire but was told I needed someone to invite me in. I am not a native of Atlanta and i don't no any Eastern Stars here. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to meet me and perhaps then invite me to petition the organization? Any advice would be helpful.
