For Parents
You Want More for Your Daughter. So Do We.
As a parent, you're looking for something that goes beyond another activity on the calendar. You want your daughter to find her people, develop real confidence, and learn skills that will stay with her long after high school. That's exactly what Texas IORG has been doing for over 100 years — right here in Texas.
Whether your daughter is in elementary school or high school, Texas IORG has a place for her.
Her Rainbow Journey - Ages 7 Through 20
One of the things that makes Texas IORG unique is that we grow with your daughter. She doesn't have to start over somewhere new when she gets older — she simply takes the next step.
Pledge Group · Ages 7–10 The journey begins here. Pledge Groups are where younger girls are introduced to the values of Rainbow — friendship, service, and belonging. It's a warm, welcoming space where girls make their first lifelong friendships and learn what it means to show up for others. → Find a Pledge Group near you
Assembly · Ages 11–20 As girls grow into their teens, Assembly is where things really take shape. Members take on meaningful leadership roles, plan and execute service projects, represent Texas at statewide and national events, and build a sisterhood that most will carry with them for the rest of their lives. → Find an Assembly near you
The connection between the two programs is intentional. A girl who starts in a Pledge Group at age 8 can move seamlessly into an Assembly at 11 — already knowing the values, already having friends, already feeling at home.
What Will My Daughter Actually Do?
Texas IORG is active, social, and meaningful — not just meetings. Here's a glimpse of what membership looks like:
-
Lead from day one. Every Assembly is run by the girls themselves. Members hold elected officer positions, run meetings, plan events, and make decisions — real leadership experience that looks great on college applications and résumés.
-
Serve the community. Service is at the heart of Rainbow. Local assemblies take on community projects, and Texas IORG has a statewide service project that girls contribute to throughout the year.
-
Compete and perform. Girls can participate in ritual competitions, developing public speaking, teamwork, and poise.
-
Travel and connect. From local events to statewide Grand Assembly to national and international gatherings, Rainbow Girls opens doors to friendships and experiences far beyond your hometown.
-
Earn scholarships. Texas IORG offers scholarships to support members as they pursue higher education. Learn more about scholarships.
Practical Questions
How much does it cost? Dues and fees vary by assembly, and are set locally to be accessible for families. Contact an assembly near you for specific information — They will be happy to talk through costs and what's included.
How much time does it take? Most assemblies and pledge groups meet twice a month, with additional events and activities throughout the year. It's designed to fit alongside school, sports, and other commitments.
Does my daughter need to know anyone to join? Not at all. Many girls join not knowing a single member and leave with friendships that last decades. Every assembly welcomes new members warmly.
Is there a faith requirement? Texas IORG is nondenominational and welcoming to girls of all backgrounds. A belief in a higher power is part of the organization's heritage, but no specific religion is required.
What about the Masonic connection? Texas IORG operates under the umbrella of the Masonic fraternity, which provides the organization with structure, values, and community support. You don't need to have a Masonic family member to join — girls are welcome regardless of family affiliation.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
The best way to know if Rainbow Girls is right for your daughter is to visit a local assembly or pledge group and see it for yourself. Local groups love having prospective families come and meet the members.
