Rainbow was for the girls. I think it had another name - something with a star in it. I remember a neighbor lady whose Mason husband knew my dad coming to our home trying to convince me to join Rainbow Girls. She emphasized that it would make me a lady...and they had dance balls and other social opportunities with the DeMolay boys! I thought it sounded lame. Totally uncool. My parents found out about her visit and said no to my joining. Not that I was interested. :-)
That's it - Eastern Star! It was the masonic women's auxiliary. Rainbow was for younger, unmarried girls.
My parents were pretty firm in us not joining. My dad originally joined the Masons because some big shots flattered him with an offer of membership. It's was obvious he regretted joining and was not very enthusiastic after a time.
Yup. That's what it is.
