The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a
Masonic Youth organization for girls between the ages of 11 and 20,
from Masonic, Eastern Star, Amaranth homes, and the friends of
members of Rainbow girls. At age 20, or upon marriage, whichever
occurs first, girls who are members in good standing are eligible
for Majority Membership. A girl must be sponsored by another girl
who is a active member in good standing, and at least one adult whom
must be a member in good standing of either the Masonic Lodge, Order
of the Eastern Star, or Order of the Amaranth.
Rainbow is a fraternal organization designed to
promote personal growth, fellowship, and charity. In addition to
learning valuable character building lessons, Rainbow affords
excellent leadership experience, public speaking opportunities,
study skills, and organizational techniques. Each Worthy Advisor
(the girl who serves as the head of her Assembly) is responsible for
selecting her officers, planning her term, choosing service and
charity projects, planning social events, preparing greetings and
speeches for guests, and presiding during meetings. Friendships made
through Rainbow are lasting, not only from your own Assembly but
throughout the state and across the country.
Some former Rainbow Girls you or your parents might
recognize are retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor,
comedian Lily Tomlin, actress Lee Meriweather who played Cat Woman
on the television series Batman, Dawn Wells, who played Mary Anne
on Gilligan’s Island. Miss America Shawntelle Smith 1996 was also a
Rainbow Girl.
Rainbow Membership applications are readily
available. Any active Rainbow Girls, Master Mason, Eastern Star,
Amaranth, or majority member can obtain a petition for you.
