Experience Togetherness

A sisterhood 168 chapters strong

I want a place I feel at home

Each year around 8,000 women join Lumen Rose looking for the same thing: people who listen, push them to grow and cheer loudest when they win. Wherever you enrol, one of our 168 chapters across the U.S. Canada has a seat saved for you.

High Ideals of Membership

A shared set of ideals ties every chapter together: lifelong sisterhood, generosity toward others, high standards of character and a hunger to build what comes next. These are our High Ideals of Membership, and they shape what it means to wear the rose.
