What is Rainbow?
IORG is a global sorority for girls between the ages of 11 and 20. Founded in April of 1922, we're organization where young women could build self-confidence and leadership skills, all while serving their community.
Who are our members?
Members are between the ages of 10 and 20 years old and we welcome everyone, regardless of race, creed, color or national origin. Parents can be assured that the values we promote are positive and uplifting. The lessons encourage members to be strong in spirit and kind in heart, respectful toward nature and giving toward all humanity.
Can my parents be involved?
Absolutely! Parents and adults can be as involved in the Assembly as they want to be and are invited to attend all meetings and fun activities.
Is this a secret organization?
In today’s world, parents are apprehensive about any activity that may be considered “secret.” But Rainbow is different. Here are a few facts to keep in mind:
What do we do?
Our Assemblies have business meetings twice a month to make decisions and discuss future plans. There are opportunities for community service by raising money and giving time to charities chosen by the members. We have fun activities, such as sleep-overs, mystery trips, bowling and snow tubing. We also travel all over the state and occasionally to others states visiting other members.
Do we have a uniform?
We do have a dress code policy that applies to members and adults, whether attending a local Assembly, Grand Assembly or Supreme Assembly, or when representing the organization elsewhere. The dress code specifies formal dresses for special meetings and semi-formal attire for other meetings. We love the chance to dress up and discover the difference it makes when presenting themselves with grace and self-respect.
What is the Ritual?
The formal meetings and open ceremonies can be found in a book called the Ritual. When a member holds an office in the Assembly, she learns her station’s lecture from this book. By presenting a memorized lecture, we learn about public speaking and leadership.
How can I join?
Visit our Contact page to find an Assembly near you or email our Supreme Inspector to help start an Assembly in your area. Then, ask if you can attend any upcoming activities so you and your family can meet the other members and adults. If you are ready to join now, then request an application for membership from the Mother Advisor. After you fill it out we begin the process of welcoming you into the assembly.
Are there any requirements to join?
The only requirement is that you be ready to make friends and have a lot of fun getting to know the girls of the Assembly and helping others in your community.
Are there opportunities for younger girls?
Yes! Pledge is a group for girls aged 6 - 9 and is sponsored by a local Assembly. Pledge Group activities are based on the amount of interest in an area, so if your local Assembly doesn't currently have an active Pledge Group, please contact the Mother Advisor to get one started!

Is this a secret organization?
In today’s world, parents are apprehensive about any activity that may be considered “secret.” But Rainbow is different. Here are a few facts to keep in mind:
- Similar to a sorority that brings groups of women together, Rainbow does have some closed meetings that only members attend. However, parents,
grandparents and/or legal guardians are always invited to attend all closed meetings. - Families are welcomed and encouraged to participate in many activities and, if they choose, can become involved with Advisory Boards.
- No actions will ever be required of members that would be against their personal beliefs or the beliefs of their church or home. Further, members are never
asked to make pledges or participate in activities that would be contrary to their moral values or make them feel uncomfortable.
