Hey ms_jazzey1,

Good question. They were not included b/c they are not a part of the "Divine Nine" Black Greek Letter Organizations.

But hey, everyone is invited to participate!

I thought that Masons and Eastern Stars were religious organizations and not greek fraternities and sororities. I dont know...this is what I was told and always I thought them to be.

But they aren't part of the NPHC, which is the memberbase this site is primarily geared towards.

The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values but it is not a religion. We are not a GREEK organization, fraternity nor a sorority but a deep fraternal bond exists between its members.

No one FORGOT about OES or Masons, this isn't our place. www.black"GREEK"forum.com is the name of the site.

I agree, well put Empress. And much love to OES and the Masons, my husband is a Mason.

Well thanks for clarifying that up for me. When I had posted this thread I was unaware of the place of Eastern Stars and Masons. But now I have a better understanding since becoming an Eastern Star and also reading the Divine Nine book by, Lawrence C. Ross.
