Order of the Eastern Star Practice Test

Session length

How many officers does it take to constitute a chapter of Eastern Star?

12

A chapter is designed with twelve officers to carry both leadership and all the ceremonial duties needed for meetings. The four officers who preside over the chapter—Worthy Matron, Associate Matron, Worthy Patron, and Associate Patron—guide the sessions and oversee the rituals. The other eight take on essential supporting roles like secretary and treasurer for records and finances, conductress and associate conductress for ritual work and processions, chaplain for prayers and spiritual support, and the officers responsible for order and security, such as marshal, warder, and sentinel. This arrangement ensures every key function is staffed in a balanced way, which is why twelve is the standard number.
