What is The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls? Is it a cult, is it a sorority, or is it just another club for girls? NO! NO! NO! It is none of those things!
Here’s a little bit about what it IS:
It IS a sisterhood of girls who nurture, encourage and support each other in every phase of life and through every experience. It IS friendship that lasts a lifetime and spans not only their town, their state and their country, but the entire world.
It IS a vehicle that takes a timid young girl and allows her to bloom into a self-assured, poised young woman who can stand confidently in front of any size audience and eloquently deliver a speech or take part in a debate or discussion.
It IS a culture of love and service. Love of God, of family, of Country and her fellow man are not just words she utters, but the mantra she lives by. Her greatest source of pleasure and pride comes from her service to her community and those less fortunate.
It IS a principle of right living and right thinking. A Rainbow Girl knows other girls are watching her and conducts herself as a model of high moral standards. She sets the bar high and strives daily to reach and exceed her own expectations.
So now, my question to you – do you know a young lady between the ages of 10 and 20 who would benefit from all the things Rainbow IS? If so, I encourage you to reach out to me or any other adult leader in the state. If there is not a Rainbow Assembly in your area, let’s start one. Let’s teach our young women the proper paths to follow while they are in the impressionable years of life. Most of our members go on to join OES when they become old enough.
If you would like more information about Rainbows in general, go to the Supreme Assembly website, www.gorainbow.org. If you would like more information about Mississippi Rainbow and all the things they are doing, go to our website, www.missiorg.org.
We invite you to join us for our 70th annual Grand Assembly to be held in Natchez, MS, June 12-16, 2019. Information about Grand Assembly can be found on our website.
In Rainbow love and service,
LaDonna Hamilton
