The Red Hat Society Ideals and Vows were originally fashioned from the "Statement of Purpose". Along the way each chapter adds a little personality of their own to make the pomp and ceremony fit their chapter. In as much as each chapter can do their own thing - being that the Red Hat Society is a disorganisation - we should not forget from where the fundamentals came. THE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE written by Exalted Queen Mum (EQM) Sue Ellen Cooper "The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humour and élan. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life, and since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next
REQUIREMENTS OF A CHAPTER - All chapterettes shall have certain fashion expectations at gatherings. The ABSOLUTE requirement is that each member MUST wear the proper attire or Regalia at each and every event. Those who have attained the magical age of 50, shall wear a red hat and purple clothing, as well as all additional manner of red and purple accessories. If under 50 one wears a pink hat and a lavender outfit. At the gatherings that occur during the month of the chapterettes birthday, she may reverse the ensemble colours. Referred to as "Au Contraire", this should not be construed to mean that she will wear her clothes inside out or backwards, but rather that she may wear a purple hat and red dress, or a lavender hat and a pink dress. This rule is permissive rather than mandatory. Queens can also decree a Reverse Colour Day at any particular gathering, e.g. to celebrate Valentine's Day. ROYAL IDEALS Be particular. Make waves. Love people out loud. Do one thing that scares you every day. Make visible what, without you, might never have been seen. Moisturize. Do not arrive too early or too late. Be generous. Be kind. Celebrate yourself - You are a phenomenal woman. Live with intention and abandon. (The Queen can change any of these rules at her whim.)
FEATHERS - The traditional Red Hats gift for all. This tradition began with our EQM Sue Ellen and was taken from the Disney "Dumbo" story. (Dumbo was given a feather by his friends and he thought the feather is what gave him the ability to fly. Of course, he later finds out he doesn't need the feather to soar.) EQM gives each new chapter charter a red and purple feather to say, "I know your ready to come out and play with us, and I'm here to encourage you to set your hearts and imaginations free". Feathers also stand for Love/Red and Hugs/Purple and when they “molt” it mean you are leaving love and hugs around.
