Who We Are
There are 3 different “levels” that make up the family that is IORG.
Girls ages 6-10 are called Pledges. Though they cannot become a full Rainbow Girl until age 11, they are welcomed and encouraged to participate in many activities including charity work, installations, and many other assembly activities. At this stage, the pledges enjoy the “big sister” relationships they will form with the older girls as they work and play side by side, absorbing the positive energy that comes from being a good person inside and out. If you’d like to join a Pledge program in your area, contact our State Pledge Mom Lauryn Palanichamy today!
Rainbow Girls
Girls ages 11-20 are official Rainbow Girls and are involved in every aspect of the organization. At this age, girls can be elected to hold office, travel locally or globally, conduct speaking engagements, oversee charity projects, and participate in all facets of Assembly work. It is at this level that members gain the knowledge and experience that will help them through every stage of life.
Advisors / Alumni
Active members over the age of 20 make up the International Rainbow Alumni Association. Invaluable to the organization, these women are respected mentors and help to guide the younger girls through their journey to reaching the “pot of gold.” They provide networking opportunities while reconnecting current members with the Rainbow heritage.
What We Do
activities and service projects
Our first goal is to have fun, and sometimes we have fun while helping others. Each term the Worthy Advisor, the leader of the Assembly, plans fun activities such as bowling, going to the movies, and sleepovers. They also choose a service project that is close to their heart as well as supporting a statewide service project, a charity that is chosen by the Grand Worthy Advisor for all of Ohio Rainbow. Each Assembly provides various acts of service or fundraising for their chosen causes, from car washes, bake sales, wrapping gifts, and even a rock-a-teeterthon!
helping our masonic family
We are a part of the Masonic Family, although Rainbow does not require members to have a biological Masonic relationship. Each assembly is sponsored by either an Eastern Star chapter or a Masonic Lodge, and looks forward to the opportunity to support their events. When given the opportunity, we will also speak at Masonic events about Rainbow to promote our organization.
Traveling
There is a saying that “you get out of Rainbow what you put into it.” There are many opportunities to participate, whether it be activities in your Assembly, visiting other Assemblies nearby, participating in statewide events like Grand Receptions or Grand Assembly, or going to Supreme Assembly.
