The lessons of the Order are spiritual and teach to have a deep love for God, country, and family.

The Order of the Eastern Star is benevolent and charitable in its actions, raising millions of dollars annually, throughout the world for projects that benefit all humankind.

Local charities have support as projects of the presiding officer of the Chapters across the State.

The Order is proud and happy to sponsor and support the youth through the rainbow for Girls, Job's Daughters, and the Order of DeMolay for young men.

The membership is admonished to aid, comfort, and protect each other by sharing the joys and sorrows of life. The rewards are many as members work and play together in love and charity and become lifelong friends, sisters, and brothers.

The Order of the Eastern Star is composed of three bodies: General Grand Chapter with headquarters in Washington, D.C., Grand Chapter with offices in Yorba Linda, California, and Sub-ordinate or local chapters located worldwide.

The Order is governed by a set of rules and regulations from the General Grand Chapter and Grand Chapter, and by a set of by-laws of each subordinate chapter.

To be a member of the Order is a wonderful and fulfilling way of life, a life of love, and through this fraternal service to humanity, a better life is built for all.

Those who desire membership must petition to do so. The petitions are carefully investigated for eligibility then the petition is voted on by the members of the Chapter receiving the petition.
