Do we really need seperate articles on Rainbow, DeMolay, Job's Daughters, and Triangle? Why not merge them into one article on "Masonic Youth Organizations"? Blueboar 19:21, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
I am going to promote this to Start Class. It definitely isn't just a stub anymore. To move it further the first thing needed are more citations and references. Blueboar 23:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
There is a infobox and a category - but particularly the intro is lacking any reference to freemasonry at all (it says IORG is a Service club, like Lions Club). Freemasonry is mentioned a few times in the article, but there is no context establishing why it is important to note things such as "Being related to a Master Mason is not a requirement in order to join Rainbow."—Preceding unsigned comment added by ZayZayEM ( talk • contribs)
Actually, you do not need a relation to join Rainbow girls. You need only be a friend of a Rainbow girl. However, in order to see closed work of IORG, you have to be a member in good standing of IORG, Master Masons, Order of Eastern Star, Order of Amaranth, Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, or a Majority girl. Parents, Grandparents, or legal guardians of active or majority Rainbow girls can also see closed work. (

In Masonic Fraternities, there is open and closed work. Many times installations, a ceremony where members are given new positions within thier chapter, assembly, or lodge, is open to outside guests. Family members and friends may come share and watch this cermony. Other ceremonies, like initiations, will be only open to members. These ceremonies are "closed."

Hey, folks, we really need more independent references for this. Do you have old newspaper clippings that talk about Rainbow, that we might be able to get details from? If so, those are perfectly acceptable, even if offline: just make sure you provide the newspaper and date of publication.
I'm particularly interested in replacing refs to iorg.org - for one, they don't work, and for another, they're primary sources, and we're supposed to report what other people say about the subject, thanks to WP:No original research.

...but it's a Reliable Source. Apparently, as late as the 70s, Supreme Assembly expelled all of Iowa for initiating a mixed-race girl. Anybody have more details on this? http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Hk4NAAAAIBAJ&sjid=T20DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5462,324020&dq=rainbow-girls -- SarekOfVulcan ( talk) 18:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I tagged the Famous members section with {{ Failed verification}} because of the people listed in that section only Olympia Snowe and Jill Kinmont are mentioned in the citation.
I was able to verify that Shauna McLean Tompkins is an actress as claimed in the Famous members section [1] and also found a page about her on the IORG web site. The same page also provided a source for Lynn Lary McLean.
We'll need to find sources for the following or to remove them. Sandra Day O'Connor, Lee Meriwether, and Luanne Walton. -- Marc Kupper| talk 23:44, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

This is not consistent with 2009 Fort Hood shooting:
