Being a Job's Daughter for 20 years...scary but true... That is what sparked MY huge interest in wanting to become a greek. Job's Daughters, Rainbow, And Demolay give their members the same as GLOs...ritual, philantropy, social and business opputunities to particpate in.
I am a true legacy of the Masons 30 times over. I have a father and grandfathers and mother and grand mothers and aunts and uncles and cousins and brothers and sisters who just in my intermediate family alone. Not to mention the many that came before us involved in the masonic family, who some were are GREEKS. What i am trying to say is this ...yes these groups are not GLOs , but they sure the heck function the same. I am proud of my membership in Job's daughters ,but i am even prouder when i belong to a GLO!
Masons are the most philantropic group i have ever seen. My grand father alone has referred many a child to Shriners hospital in Los Angeles as he was a cop and seen so much low income families not able to afford health care as well as my father who is a Doctor and knew of many paitents with kids.
Masons give tons of Scholarship money yearly to COLLEGE students. I myself have had a few of those scholarships. They also give to elementry schools by sponsering them when they need supplies and to other schools as well.
I agree this is a GLO website and masonic groups may not belong, but a lot of these greeks were once members of these goups and or still are. but some of these GLO orgs were founded or were somewhere in their deep and rich history derived from the Masons. Arcaicia and Delta Zeta have had ties in their past long ago to the Masons and OES before they seperated to belong to IFC and NPC.
I use to love it when my grand dad would drive me around in his lil red shriner car...... that was a blast to be in parades with him!
my very own 2 cents!
