After doing a quick search, the short answer is that Mechanism is very similar to Freemasonry but not the same. I had never heard of it until you mentioned it.

I am in college and I can't find any Eastern Stars in my area even though I know there are plenty here. I saw one at my college last year but I didn't go talk to her 
I am really interested and I really want it, my only issue is lack of social networking.

Thanks to a news item about headstones from black cemeteries in DC, I learned of a black women's organization called the United Order of Tents.
I figured it would be best to put it here.

I just read their website and their history was interesting. Thanks for posting the link!

Are organizations like the Prince Hall Masons, OES, Elks, Daughters of Isis, Odd Fellows, and the Mechanics still culturally relevant? They seemed to be very popular amongst the older generations of African Americans, but today they seem obsolete and very unpopular amongst my generation. I just never met an Elk of my generation. Do people still join these organizations?

What exactly is your generation?
I think they're still popular in my area and that people are still discovering them as they mature and get bored with their existing affiliations.
