The Rebekahs, or International Association of Rebekah Assemblies (IARA), is a global service organization affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). Originally established in 1851 as a women’s auxiliary, it now welcomes both men and women.
Our mission is guided by the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We foster Friendship, Love, and Truth, providing opportunities for personal growth, leadership, community service, and charitable work.
Symbols of the Rebekah Degree:
- Beehive – Cooperation and unity
- Moon & Seven Stars – Order and precision
- Dove – Peace and goodwill
- Lily – Purity of character
Why Join?
Becoming a Rebekah means expanding your friendships, contributing to your community, developing leadership skills, and making a difference in the lives of others—all while having fun and finding a sense of belonging.
