Greek ORG and Freemasonry

[Erik P Conard]

Guess I omitted being a Shriner. And I was once upon a time
a Moose and an Eagle, but mostly for the poker games.
Which reminds me...
How 'bout the guy who returned from hunting? He got an
Elk, an Eagle, a Moose and a Mason.
Okay...okay...I'll go to my room.....LOL

When you get out of school and settle in a community, why not
take a look at the Jaycees and/or Elks (Moose, Eagles) as well
as the Masons?

Actually, APO has this brochure for seniors about life after college, and Jaycees is one of the organizations recommended. I joined in 1995 and it seemed like a natural progression.

I have been around masonic orgs since I was 11 years old and can say that there are plenty of catholic masons. The church may not like it, but they won't kick you out if you become a Mason.

Back to the original quesiton... I am a member of Phi Sigma Sigma, Eastern Star and I was an active member of International Order of Rainbow for girls until my 21st birthday, and I feel I gave a great amount to all my organizations and they all have given something back to me.

I too was a member of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. I was a four year Grand Officer. and I have since Joined Eastern Star, but Have gone inactive. Most of my family is in Eastern Star or are Masons

I am currently a member of Kappa Alpha Theta.

Thanks for the poem Brother Alpha SigOU I appreciate. Being raised to the sublime degree has been one of the best experiences I have partaken in. I will continue to uphold all traditions and spread brotherly love wherever and whenever possible. There is still much more light to uncover and become familiar, I appreciate all the support I received through my upbringing.

Not a problem, Brother D. Any question you might have about Freemasonry or the appendant bodies, I'm sure that I or anyone here who's a Mason, Eastern Star, Rainbow or a Job's Daughter can answer it.

Again, congratulations, my Brother!

Do what your heart say's is right! We have alot of Phi Tau brothers who are Masons. I'm one, Rick Keltner is one, and alot of bro's at CSUF want to be one's. You have alot of bro's who have knowledge in the craft don't be shy, talk to us. Here is my yahoo email (phamason2003@yahoo.com).

As was I!!! It makes me sad that it is shrinking in Texas...I remember when our Grand Assemblies could fill entire municipal convention centers. Now they have them at hotel convention centers...

Until a couple of years ago, my IORG experience was going to be the extent of my masonic affiliation b/c I come from a non-masonic family (joined as friend of a Rainbow Girl), but they changed the rule to allow Majority Members to join OES...I just haven't done that yet...not sure I will, since I would be joining a chapter that is hundreds of miles from my Rainbow Assembly, and I don't know anyone out here in OES. I want my daughter to have the Rainbow experience at least...

Andi, your story is a lot like mine. I was able to join Eastern Star about 4 years ago when they admitted the majority Rainbow Girls. My Rainbow assembly has also gone dark now. Yes, I remember those days of big Grand Asssemblies and how we would have 50 sideliners at regular meetings. Now the few assemblies here in town barely have enough to fill all the offices.
