I'm african american, new to this forum and not an active member though I joined an OES chapter in 1996. The chapter is Scottish Rite. ALL of my friends who are Prince Hall got on me about this but at the time my husband (now ex) helped me get initiated and he is Scottish Rite, joining from his time in the Air Force in Italy.

What is the real difference. I almost felt embarressed and didn't really particiapte the way I wanted to. Now Im ready to become active again. I'm very confused about all of this!
