Welcome to the Grand Chapter of Maryland - Order of the Eastern Star
* * * SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPDATES * * *
None right now! :)
The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both women and men may belong. Worldwide, there are approximately 1 million members under the General Grand Chapter.
Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values, but it is not a religion. 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.
The purpose of this website is twofold...
First, to provide our members with a resource of ALL things happening in our Grand Chapter. If you have any suggestions or comments about the new website, please contact our Webmaster.
Secondly, to inform and educate the general public on our purpose, goals, and achievements. Any person who is interested in our Order is asked to contact our Grand Secretary or the Secretary of a chapter in your local area.
