What is the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls?

The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls (IORG) is a youth group for girls between the ages of 11 and 20. Local groups (Assemblies) are sponsored by Masonic affiliations. Usually the sponsoring body is either a local Masonic Lodge, Order of the Eastern Star Chapter, or Order of the Amaranth Court. The girls learn about charity, hope, and service through their work and involvement with their annual local and Grand (state or country) service projects.

What Does Rainbow Teach ?

The Ritual for the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a book of ceremonies used primarily for the Opening, Closing and Initiation of a Rainbow Assembly. Members of the Order recite, from memory, the ceremonies contained in the Rainbow Ritual.


The Seven Colors of the Rainbow are represented by seven stations, strategically placed in the shape of a bow. Each station is represented by a color, and each color teaches one of the seven lessons of Rainbow. The stations and lessons of the Rainbow are as follows:


Red

The first color station represents Love.
It emphasizes the importance of love of home and family.

Orange

The second color station represents Religion.
It emphasizes the importance of membership and active participation in the church of your choice.


Yellow

The third color station represents Nature.
It emphasizes the importance of spending time in the out-of-doors.


Green

The fourth color station represents Immortality.
It emphasizes that even though our body dies, our souls live on forever.


Blue

The fifth color station represents Fidelity.
It emphasizes the importance of loyalty to the Order and to the Rainbow Girl’s family and friends.


Indigo

The sixth color station represents Patriotism.
It emphasizes the importance of respecting the laws of our country and its flag.


Violet

The seventh color station and represents Service.
Service is the foundation of Rainbow and emphasizes the importance of providing unselfish acts
of service to our home, community and sponsoring orders of Rainbow.




Who Are the Leaders ?


The leadership structure of Rainbow begins with the local Assembly and extends to the State and International Assemblies. Each local Assembly is made up of five line officers (Rainbow Girls who lead the Assembly under the direction of a Mother Advisor and Advisory Board) and thirteen appointed officers. The adult governing body of each Rainbow Assembly is known as the Advisory Board and is comprised of seven to fifteen adults from various Masonic organizations.



How Often Are The Meetings?


Most Rainbow Assemblies meet twice a month. In addition to the bi-monthly meetings at her local Assembly, she will have the opportunity to visit other statewide or International Rainbow Assemblies, where she will meet other girls her own age who are members of the same organization.



Who Can Attend a Rainbow Meeting?


Rainbow Members in good standing, as well as any Mason, Eastern Star or Amaranth in good standing, any Majority member of Rainbow, and any parent, grandparent or legal guardian of an active Rainbow Girl is eligible to attend a meeting of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls.
