Order of the Eastern Star - Page 4

Although I am not a member of the Order, I did have a member in my family, and also there are several at my church.

One of the things I found to be interesting was that my home state is holding a piece of history of OES.

Also, I really did wonder if OES and PHA/FAAM were african american orders. I saw the KY Grand Chapter site and saw none of the members to be black. I am not trying to be insensitive, just stating what I have observed. Everyone I know that are members are black. I had my eyes opened and learned a lil more about OES.

I'm very serious about the Order of the Eastern Star, but I also don't take anything personally because I am secure with all aspects of my organization. It would take a lot for someone to upset me when asking a question about OES because I understand that people really don't & won't understand. & they probably have seen or noticed some things that are questionable. If the question is too far out there then I just ignore it laugh inside & keep going.

I do not feel that you are being insensitive when it comes to your observation. Traditionally certain groups such as PHA F&AM are predominantly black, but one of my sisters i was initiated with is white and she is wonderful, another is mixed and she is just as wonderful as well.

I feel that Masonic & Greek organizations are beautiful & helpful aspects of uplifting many of our communites world wide. They also have had strong roots in advancing the status of blacks. I just encourage everyone to keep on pushing & serving to make things a little bit easier and better for others!

Have a wonderful day!

Some of this is upon us, but there is research out there for OES, just like there is for Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc.

I love it that women are interested in my organization, but I hold my membership in such high regard that I don't look upon any petition for membership as a given. I will be happy to help out wherever I can, and have some MBs for women interested in OES and Sororities, or just OES.

Thanks for letting me interrupt for a moment!

I concur. I too am a member of the Order of Eastern Star(F.A.A.Y.M) and I also don't take it personal or to any offense if someone has a genuine question about us.

NiaX,
If you have any questions about O.E.S., I'm open to answering what I can for you.

Question,
If my grandfather was a mason and is now passed on to glory. Can I still get into the Order of the Eastern Stars? Is it automatic? Also when my son is old enough can he obtain membership based on his great-grandfathers membership?

Just wanting to know, curious.

I am a member of both and there are absolutely no conflicts. I have been an Eastern Star since July 1989. One compliments the other BELIEVE me.

Good questions. My Grandfather was a Mason and my Grandmother was an Eastern Star and have since passed on. If I were to choose to pursue membership could I use their affiliations?

You continue to say the same thing over and over and over. You've said what you had to say. No one is listening to rhetoric. Thank you for attempting to enlighten us but at this time no one will be joining you in your mission to type the same message in all caps no less.

You should get in touch with a Eastern Star with in your state and ask her if that affiliation will allow you to petition for membership. If she says no please ask her if/ahen they will be having "open season".

Is this "Prince Hall" OES, or the one created in the 1950s?

PHA_luv · #57 10-11-2005, 04:16 PM

I am speaking of Prince Hall Affiliated chapters, i'm not sure about the other chapter that you are speaking of, but yes this is for PHA

[Q. Is my religious faith allowed In the Order of the Eastern Star?
A. Yes. Members of all religions may belong to the Order of the Eastern Star. We only require a belief in a Supreme Being.

hiriam 7500 studied hard and discovered the truth about what her org is

and i studied hard and came to the same conclusions

the difference is that after coming to the conclusion that she did ...that the devil is made up ...and Jesus was not equal to God

i became a born again Christian washed in the BLOOD OF THE PASSOVER LAMB

AND TAHT IS WHY I DENOUCED MY MEMBERSHIP IN OMEGA PSI PHI

BUT I NEVER DENOUNCED MY LOVE FOR THE BROTHERS OF OMEGA PSI PHI OR ANY OTHER ORG FOR THAT MATTER

THE TRUTH IS BEFORE YOU WAKE UP AND DECIDE

TO BE HOT OR COLD... YES ... LUKEWARM IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE

NO NEED TO REPLY SISTERS THIS IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB THE WORLD IS WATCHING
