Who We Are: The Order of the Eastern Star remains the largest fraternal organization in the world that is open to both men and women, with close to 1 Million members and 9,000 Chapters in 20 countries Though its teachings use characters from both the Old and New Testaments, and it is essentially a Christian-based organization, non-Christians are certainly welcome to join. Only a belief in a Supreme Being is required. The Order of the Eastern Star is open to men who are Master Masons and female relatives, spouses and descendents of Master Masons | |||

In addition, on an annual basis, the Worthy Grand Matron chooses a specific project and significant funds are raised to support it.
