What is the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls?

The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a fraternal organization for girls founded in McAlester, Oklahoma, on April 6, 1922, by William Mark Sexson and eleven adults, who comprised the first Supreme Assembly of the Order of the Rainbow for Girls. The organization was initially meant for young women from a Masonic or Eastern Star home, but, today, membership is open to any girl regardless of her Masonic or religious affiliation.

The objective of the Order is to prepare girls between the age of 11 and 20 years for a brighter, better, and more beautiful womanhood. The Order has two degrees: (l) Initiatory; and (2) Grand Cross of Color (which is an Honorary Degree).

Among other things, the organization teaches seven lessons, represented by the seven colors of the Rainbow: symbolizing love, religion, nature, immortality, fidelity, patriotism and service.

The Rainbow ritual teaches belief in a Supreme Being; great truths of the Bible; dignity of character; conception of higher things in life; effective leadership; church membership; cooperation with equals; patriotism; love of home; and service to humanity.

This website acknowledges allegiance to the Supreme Assembly, International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, whose seat of authority is in McAlester, Oklahoma, U.S.A., of which Reverend W. Mark Sexson was the founder, Mrs. Marilyn Feulner, Iowa/Minnesota, U.S.A is Supreme Worthy Advisor and Mrs. Eleanor Roque-Redor is Supreme Deputy in the Philippines and Guam.

Message from the Supreme Deputy

Hi, Everyone

Thank you so much for your dedication and support to our Order. I've got feedbacks that they really enjoyed the Session and their bonding with their Rainbow sisters.

Congratulations to our Host Assembly, Gloria Maris Assembly No. 15, with the support of their sponsoring bodies, Daguhoy Lodge F & AM and Kinampay Chapter OES for making the session a memorable and enjoyable one. Thank you also for the wonderful souvenirs. You really poured out your artistic talents. Everything you did were really appreciated. Cheers!!!

The next Grand Session will be on May 27-29, 2011 in San Pablo City, Laguna. The host assembly is now making their plans. The Grand Officers, Grand Representatives, Execom, and Mother Advisors and Advisors have to be there on the 26th of May, 2011. So, girls, start saving for the next session.

We have successfully instituted Mina de Oro Assembly LT 23 last June 6, 2009 in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. We initiated 21 girls and they had their installation of officers on June 7, 2009. The sponsoring body is Mindoro Lodge No. 157, F & AM led by WB Ruben Guinto as the Worshipful Master, VW Noli Talucod, PDDGM, VW Ramon Espada III, DDGM, and the brethrens. Their Worthy Advisor is Charisse Guinto. Twenty (20) Rainbow girls from the 5 assemblies in Luzon participated in this memorable event. Sis Pia Karesh Maglipong, PGWA from Anthurium Assembly No. 5, joined us also. The girls enjoyed this worthy, wonderful, and learning experience.

Our Grand Master, MW Peter Lim Lo Suy, was the Guest of Honor and Speaker during the installation. It was really a great honor with his presence.

Looking forward to the revival of Tierra Alta No. 4 in Binakayan, Cavite; Sapphire No. 8 in Cebu; Institution of a new assembly in Malolos, Bulacan; Naga City, Bicol; and Palma No. 17 in Quezon City.

We're growing!!! Let's continue working together and make the difference for the good of our Order. Always remember our Rainbow Promise....

Forever the Rainbow!!
