O.E.S/Sorority???
Hello Everyone !
(Im new to the site, so apologies if this thread has been discussed) Im sort of wondering is how does the Greek-letter Fraternities and Sororities feel about the Order of the Eastern Star being a Sorority? I myself am a Star and will not get offended by anyones opinion on the matter. I've had my sistars come to me in my Chapter that brought up wanting to stroll and call... I personally do not see any harm in OES Chapters having fun strolling just as long as its clean simply because of our teachings, that are biblical. How do you all feel ? (Thanks in advance for your input ):) |
Why does it matter how people feel?
The search engine comes up with a few threads about Greekdom and Masonry and the Order of Eastern Star. |

I'm sorry but the thought of the Eastern Stars I know (including my dad) strolling is just about the most hilarious thing ever.

It's just many of the younger Black OES who insist on mimicking some of the traditions of BGLO sororities while claiming that they are our mothers and we are mimicking them. |

Hmm I wonder. Would OES be considered a fraternity or sorority? I know it is mostly women, but IIRC a chapter can't meet without the presence of at least one Master Mason.

My gut feeling is that I would rather that OES members didn't stroll or call, primarily because it just doesn't seem congruent with the centuries of masonic tradition that I am aware of. Practically speaking, you should be able to do what you want at your own functions. I would just advise against it in mixed company if you want to avoid drama. |
