​What It Takes to Be a Sister
Being a Sister ain't just about a sickening white face and a killer gown (though, yes, we live for a good stoning!). It's a calling, darling! A celestial nudge to spread joy, serve our community, and uplift everyone with love, sass, and just a hint of holy hell-raising. We're fundraising queens, yes, but we're also ministers of fierce presence, educators of the heart, and entertainers who make every moment a damn celebration. From throwing legendary parties to holding space for those in need, our work is as extra as we are.
The Work of a Sister
Being a Sister takes dedication, creativity, and a whole lotta fabulousness. We throw events that'll make your jaw drop, bring comfort where it's needed, and drop truth bombs wherever we go – from classrooms to the local gay bar. You'll need a heart dripping with compassion, the ability to juggle like a Cirque du Soleil star, and the willingness to invest your time, energy, and maybe even a little coin into this sacred slay. Got a cause that lights your fire and aligns with our values? Honey, we'll help you serve it!​
What We’re Looking For
We're hunting for fierce souls with a fire in their stilettos – a passion for serving, a desire to perform, and a heart that connects. We stan honesty, a genuine spirit, and the ability to play well with others (mostly). We're a family, after all, and like any family, we love, support, and occasionally throw shade like the queens we are.
Our Sacred Calling
This ain't a side hustle, sweetie; it's a vocation! For many of us, this is a lifelong gig. Our looks might evolve (more glitter, obviously), but our dedication to spreading joy, kicking stigma to the curb, and serving the LGBTQIA+ community is forever. It's a wild ride, but the rewards? They're as rich and enlightening as a perfectly executed drag number.​
Ready to Take the Plunge?
Feeling that flutter of excitement? Good! Time to sashay your way to one of our events, witness our magic firsthand, and come say hello! There's no better way to know if this is your destiny. Your journey starts with a chat with our Mistress of Novices – she'll give you the vibe check to end all vibe checks. If you've got the goods, you'll declare your Aspirancy at a general meeting. If it's not your moment, don't despair! There are tons of ways to get involved in our dazzling city. So, ready to slap on some sparkle and walk this divine path with us? We're waiting with open arms, a whole lotta laughter, and enough love to heal the world. Fill out the application or talk to a Sister stat, and find out where the party – I mean, the service – is happening next!
Stages of Membership
Listen up, newbies! Wanna join our holy hell-raisers? Here's the tea on how to sashay your way into our sacred sisterhood:
Aspirancy
Aspirant, aka "The Curious One": You're sniffing around, honey. Gotta bat your lashes at our Mistress of Novices (the MoN, darling) and grace two of our fabulous meetings. You'll be glued to the MoN, learning the ropes and seeing if you've got the divine spark. If we dig your vibe, you'll get a symbolic lipstick – your baby voice in the house! Werk those events, stay in touch with the MoN, and snag a Fully Professed Member (FPM) to be your fairy godmother. You can get creative with your mug, but NO whiteface yet, precious. And when you're out and about in drag, you better have a fully manifested FPM on your arm! You can share your brilliant thoughts at meetings, but no voting for you... yet!
Postulancy
Postulant, aka "The Budding Beauty": You're one step closer, baby! Minimum four months of deeper dives, building those crucial connections, and finally learning the secrets of our iconic face. You gotta track your progress and keep your Sponsor in the loop. Once you've ticked all the boxes, beg your Sponsor for that Novice glow-up! The MoN will spill the tea, and if two-thirds of us gag over your potential (in a good way!), you're in! Still gotta have an FPM chaperone when you're painted. Ministrants get a cute hat, learn their whiteface from their Sponsor, and then get schooled on other face bits by different FPMs – gotta rock each part in public before moving on! Guards get a sailor hat (ooh la la!) and learn their whiteface and specific colors (blue, then yellow, then RED, henny!). Still no voting, but keep those opinions coming!
Novitiate
This ain't a side hustle, sweetie; it's a vocation! For many of us, this is a lifelong gig. Our looks might evolve (more glitter, obviously), but our dedication to spreading joy, kicking stigma to the curb, and serving the LGBTQIA+ community is forever. It's a wild ride, but the rewards? They're as rich and enlightening as a perfectly executed drag number.​
Full Profession
Fully Professed Member (FPM), aka "The Reigning Royalty": You've made it, legend! Lifelong membership, baby! You call the shots, shape our destiny, and basically run this glorious gaggle. Ministrants: Sisters get their BLACK veils and can now rock any color veil or fabulous headpiece they've earned or been gifted. Brothers get their black and red stoles and can go wild with any color or style of stole or appropriate headwear. Guards: Get a black fedora and can bedazzle it with any color feathers – and rock any hat style or color they damn well please! You've got voting rights, can be in charge, and sponsor the baby queens. You gotta stay active, show up, and keep that fierce connection with our community!
So, there you have it! Now, sashay over to our contact page or fill out the application below and let's see if you've got what it takes to join our holy revolution! We're waiting, darling!
