Why do Job's Daughters wear white robes, capes, and crowns?
The uniforms worn by the officers of a Bethel during meetings are of the Grecian type worn by women during the time of Job. Everyone wearing the white Grecian dress stresses equality, symbolic of the important belief that we are all of equal importance in life. All girls, regardless of their family backgrounds, are equal when all are wearing them (just like why the Girl Scouts wear uniforms, theirs just happen to be green & brown). Also, the color white, in all ages, has been deemed an emblem of purity and a symbol of joy. And, they’re really comfortable! The three principal officers wear capes and crowns to represent the three daughters of Job. The cape and crown are a symbol of authority, but also a reminder of an officer’s responsibility to the members that elected them to this position.
