Sisters?

[Blake Bowden]

Obviously 95% of us are Brothers through Masonry, but is there a time when we use the term "sister"? Are members of OES or Rainbow considered "sisters" or do they only go by titles provided by their respective organizations?

I often refer to my eastern star friends as "siSTARS"

 

[JTM]

for me, they are too old.

OES members are called sisters (and brothers) by other members.

Many of the OES I have met have introduced themselves as "A Sister". I know most who are members anyway, from the folks I have known over the years already.

I think they would appreciate being referred to as Sister. Especially if we emphasized it with sincerity. Our Eastern Star Chapter compliments our lodge very well. For example, On Aug. 22, we will be conferring the MM degree on 5 candidates. When OES became aware, they elected prepare our dinner. The only thing they asked of us was to to inform our candidates to encourage their wives and daughters to join Eastern Star. Yes, they are our Sisters.

I haven't figured out the Co-masons calling the women Brother..

I've heard them introduce themselves, "I'm Sister Mary Jane Verde form the OES chapter." Makes them sound nun-ish, but thats OK.

Are your 80 year old Masons at Lodge too old to be Brothers?

Are your 30 year old Masons at Lodge too immature to be Brothers?
