I am soooo glad someone brought this up!
I was questioned by a member of a certain fraternity on campus who told me that he thinks that its wrong for Eastern Stars and Mason to wear paraphernalia. Mind u, he's not a Mason... I love him dearly so I gently told him that When or IF he becomes a Mason he will understand that the Masonic family has nothing to hide! So why would we not be permitted to wear paraphernalia like any other organization? Just because YOU (generally speaking) don't know our secrets doesn't mean that we are in a "secret society"... Or that we "worship the devil" for that matter, but that tangent is reserved for another thread.
Now granted: I don't believe that we should stroll, or do calls or step. That option is reserved for the divine 9. I love that they step and do such... It gives our culture a certain "Je' nais se qua"(sp?) that we own. However what we have to understand is that "Stars and Squares" gave birth to the Divine 9. They understood the value of a "fraternal bond", from our Fraternal Order. For us to call and stroll is about as silly as a mother who stays on the phone all night long because her teenager did so! What would our sign be?! *side eye* hopefully not something no one unworthy should ever see! Our call?! I'm afraid to ask.
So SiStars, Bruhs, I implore u...
Leave the child's play to the children!
We came first
We are "CALLED according to HIS purpose"! What other CALL do we need?!
Remember what makes us so Lovely and Different.
Why u became a member in the first place.
If u can't answer all of these questions maybe u should get with someone in your chapter who can.
Sorry I went off... If you walk in a room with a pack of dogs the one that will cry is the one u step on :/
