From the official website:


Who may join: 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
great nieces
mothers-in-law
sisters-in-law
aunts
And first and second female cousins of affiliated Master Masons in good standing, or if deceased in good standing at the time of their death; as well as members - either active for three (3) years or majority - in the International Order of the Rainbow of Girls or in Job's Daughters International, each of whom having attained at least the age of eighteen (18) years, are eligible to membership in the Order of the Eastern Star.

How to join: To inquire about membership, talk to a current member, or contact a local chapter. To find chapters in your area, contact the Grand Secretary of that state or province. Petitions are carefully read, eligibility investigated and election to membership must be by a vote of the Chapter. The Order strives to select persons of mental, moral, and spiritual quality who will work together in harmony to perform its objectives.


So - you would be eligible. See the official website. I don't see "open enrollment" as waiving any membership requirements listed anywhere on their website.

If the original poster is speaking of Prince Hall Affiliated OES chapters, then the "national website" may not apply.

Original poster, if this is the case, please google "Prince Hall Grand Lodge" Virginia or "Prince Hall Affiliated" [Your town], Virginia and then depending
on the site, you may find the website for your local Eastern Stars.

And then ultimately, ask a member.
