Hi green pixie!
I had told your mom on another forum that I was a Rainbow girl many years ago. I was very young, and don't remember much about it. My dad was in the Navy, and when we transferred to Camp LeJeune NC, a girl invited me to join.
Well, much to my dismay, a few months later, dad was transferred "again", and it was over for me with the Rainbow girls.
I do remember the meetings of dressing up, and the formality of it all...and yes, I remember "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet:!!!
Congratulations to you! I am happy you are enjoying it, and am certain that your mom is very proud.
Filly |

Shriners, are 'part' of Masons. IIRC a person must first become a Mason as go through some ranks before joining the Shriners.
Rainbow Girls is an organization for girls that do not necessarily have a father or relative in the Masons. Job's Daughters are a similar organization for Girls that DO have a family member in the Masons---I think I got that right...corrections welcome should I be wrong.

 I'm not sure... but I think it's Rainbow Girls that requires the girl to have a dad who is a Mason... or at least, a family member (grandpa, uncle, etc?)
But anywho... we can google that I'm sure. 
As for Rainbow girls, I think it's an awesome organization. My younger sister belonged and I really think it helped her grow and mature.
I tried Eastern Star (the one for women). It was waaaaaaaay too boring for me at the time. But, I DO remember the PENTAGRAM like circle. And the "Worthy Matron" (ie: High Priestess <giggle>)

| Quote: | The teachings found in the Rainbow ceremonies are based on Christian scripture, and often quote the sayings of Jesus. However, you do not have to be a Christian to be a Rainbow member. Girls of all faiths are welcome to be members of the organization, if they have a belief in a Supreme Being. No "recruiting" for any Christian organization is included in Rainbow; the teachings reflect morals and values common to many religions.
|
| Quote: | What is Rainbow?
Rainbow is a non-profit character building, service oriented organization. The main goal is to help its members become more than they dreamed possible. Involvement in Rainbow teaches girls three basic virtues: to have faith in a Supreme Being, other people and themselves; to have hope in all that they do; and to be charitable, for to live a life of service is the most rewarding life of all.
Who are Members of Rainbow?
Rainbow is open to girls between the ages of 11 and 20, regardless of race, creed, color or national origin. You do not have to be Christian to be a member. You can be assured that the values promoted by Rainbow are strong and basic to many religions.
Is Rainbow a Secret Organization?
In today's world, people are apprehensive about any activity that may be considered "secret."
Rainbow is different!
* Rainbow does have some closed meetings that only members attend. This is similar to sororities that bring groups of women together, but also have closed meetings. Rainbow is different - it allows not only members, but also members' parents, grandparents and legal guardians to attend those meetings. These individuals are welcomed and encouraged to participate in meetings and in other activities. They are also encouraged to serve on Advisory Boards.
* Nothing in Rainbow - meetings or activities - will ever be contrary to basic Christian teachings. You do not have to be Christian to be a member, but you can be assured that the values promoted by Rainbow are strong and basic to many religions.
* No actions will ever be required of members that would be against their personal beliefs or the instructions of church or home. In fact, members are encouraged to be loyal to their church and home. Members are never asked to make pledges or participate in activities that would be contrary to their moral values or make them feel uncomfortable.
What is Rainbow Heritage?
The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls has been a vital part of the lives of young women since its founding in 1922 by Reverend W. Mark Sexson. Rainbow is an active organization throughout the United States and in Aruba, Queensland and New South Wales in Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Philippines.
Do Rainbow Girls have a Uniform?
Rainbow does have a "dress code" that applies to all Members and adults whether attending a local Assembly, Grand Assembly or Supreme Assembly, or when representing Rainbow elsewhere.
The Rainbow dress code specifies formal dresses for certain meetings and church-like attire for other meetings. Rainbow Girls learn how to present themselves with grace and poise by wearing such a uniform.
When representing Rainbow in a group the dress should be tasteful and appropriate for the event.
What is the "Ritual?"
The script for the formal meetings and open ceremonies of Rainbow can be found in a book called the "Ritual." When a member holds an office in the Assembly, she learns her station's lecture from the Ritual, or as sometimes called, the book of ceremonies. By presenting a memorized lecture, Rainbow Girls learn about public speaking and leadership. The Ritual contains Rainbow's teachings based on right living and thinking.

awesome T! so, you are correct - they do not have to be related to a Mason.
That's even better then... I'm glad there's no 'exclusivity' to it.

Your gonna laugh....My husband is the Rainbow Dad, and he is going to be 'installed' in the Masons next month...and now they are after me for eastern star.
I am not much of a joiner, that is part of the reason I am Wiccan, I like to be in control... 
Ohhhh well, I am sure I will get sucked in..... 
What I am most impressed with...all they *want* a belief is a higher power....so that means little witches are welcome
