== History ==
The idea for the creation of an Order of the Eastern Star for black women was first proposed by William Myers, a Grand Master in the Prince Hall Jurisdiction of the District of Columbia. With Georgiana Thomas he set about getting the ritual and organization approved by the official of the Lodge and the first Chapter of the Prince Hall Order of the Eastern Star was opened on December 1, 1874. The organization spread and in 1907 a Conference of Grand Chapters, Order of the Eastern Star. The name was changed to Interstate Conference of Grand Chapters in 1910 and International Conference of Grand Chapters in 1924. This organization was "dismantled" by the Prince Hall Conference of Grand Masters in 1976 and is now known as the Prince Hall Conference of Grand Chapters, Order of the Eastern Star.〔(Origin and History of the Adoptive Rite Among Black Women )〕 Unlike the mainstream Order of the Eastern Star, the PHOES do not have a centralized organization. The state Grand Chapters are the main organizations, and the "annual conventions" are made up exclusively of Past Grand Matrons. the "thirty first annual convention" was held in 1979.〔Schmidt p.100〕
