Frequently Asked Questions

Connect My Sister is a private, verified professional network exclusively for active Order of the Eastern Star members in good standing. It allows sisters to find each other by skill, offer services, post events, and connect securely within the verified sisterhood.

Only active Order of the Eastern Star members with a current, valid OES dues card may join. Every membership is verified during registration. If your dues card is expired or you are not in good standing, you will not be able to complete registration.

Yes — from now through December 31, 2026, all new memberships are completely free as part of our Founding Member offer. No credit card is required to register during this period.

After December 31, 2026, continued access requires a $5/month or $54/year subscription. Your profile, connections, and all your data are safely preserved. You will be prompted to subscribe when you log in. You can also choose to pay annually and save 10%.

During registration, you will be asked to enter the information printed on your current OES dues card — your chapter name, chapter number, Grand Chapter, issue date, and void date. Our system verifies that the information is consistent with an active, current dues card. Only sisters in good standing may complete registration.

If you completed your dues card verification but never set a password, visit connectmysister.com/register/set-password to create your login credentials. Enter your email address and choose a password (8+ characters). If you still have trouble, visit our Help page and send us a message.

Yes. Connect My Sister does not display your email address, phone number, or personal contact information publicly. When you connect with another brother, our system sends a secure relay email — your real email address is never exposed. Only verified members can view the directory.

Use the Search page to find sisters by keyword, skill, or service. When you find a sister you would like to connect with, click the Connect Now button on their profile. Our system will send them a private email introduction on your behalf.

The Marketplace allows verified Eastern Star members to buy and sell goods and services within the sisterhood. To list your business or products, you need to upgrade to a Marketplace Seller account for $2/month or $22/year. Sellers keep 100% of their sale proceeds — AWV only charges the monthly subscription.

The Events Poster add-on ($1/month or $11/year) allows you to post event flyers, announcements, lodge events, parties, and more to the CMS & CMS Events Board. Your events are visible to all verified Connect My Sister and Connect My Sister members.

Yes, you can cancel anytime. Your profile and all your data remain safely preserved after cancellation. If you reactivate later, everything will be right where you left it.

Connect My Sister (connectmysister.com) is the sister platform for verified Order of the Eastern Star members. The Marketplace and Events Board are shared between CMS and CMS — meaning sisters and sisters can support each other across both platforms.

Connect My Sister was built by Anthony H. Washington, a supporter of the Order of the Eastern Star, in Washington, DC. It was built for the sisterhood, with the brotherhood.
