The Order of the Eastern Star is a fraternal organization that welcomes both men and women. The social order comprises people with spiritual values, yet it is not a religion – the emphasis is on a relationship of brotherly and sisterly love between its members.

Its official website can be found at easternstar.org, and the purposes and projects of the organization are listed there alongside information on its current and forthcoming projects. These include fundraising events both for local and international charities. Other sections of the site that merit a mention include the one titled “General Grand Chapter”, where the numerous chapters subordinates and grand jurisdictions are individualized, and information on the International Temple (the international headquarters, located in Washington D.C) is provided. For its part, a page that goes by the name of “Eastern Star Journal” describes the activities and interests of the chapters and their members. Information on how to subscribe to the publication is provided as well.
