The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. It is an adoptive rite of Freemasonry which teachings are based on the Bible and objectives that are charitable and benevolent. Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members. It is the wholesome relationship of sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principles exemplified in our lives which makes us near and dear to each other.
