Joining a Sorority After College

[SaveFireAnts]

I myself am a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. To answer your questions: the 3 year membership involving Job's Daughters is in fact if you are not related to a Master Mason. As for women and men that are not a part of Job's Daughters, membership is limited to:

Only men who are Masons are eligible and only women with specific Masonic affiliation may be members. These affiliations include:

• Affiliated Master Masons in good standing,
• the wives
• daughters
• legally adopted daughters
• mothers
• widows
• sisters
• half sisters
• granddaughters

• stepmothers
• stepdaughters
• stepsisters
• daughters-in-law
• grandmothers
• great granddaughters
• nieces
• mothers-in-law
• sisters-in-law
• majority rainbow girls
• majority jobs daughters

and daughters of sisters or brothers of affiliated Master Masons in good standing, or if deceased were in good standing at the time of their death; each of whom shall have attained to at least the age of eighteen (18) years, are eligible to membership in the Order of the Eastern Star.

As another PHQ & MM of Jobies, I will add that the 3-year rule should not need to apply to any member of Job's Daughters as in order to join, you must be related to a master mason by the same standards (or close) as OES requires. Also, I'd like to add The Order of the Amaranth (which I am a memeber) as a possibility in the Masonic family. There are a ton of other Masonic groups (White Shrine, Daughters of the Nile) for those individuals searching for a fraternal bond who did not have the opportunity to join a fraternity/sorority while in college for whatever reason.
