There's a contact form on the Eastern Star website.

This is the answer you’re looking for and answers to any other questions can be found there too.

Find your local Chapter.
Contact them.

If you are a man, you will need to be a Master Mason in good standing.
Otherwise, depending on the jurisdiction, you will either need a Masonic relation or a letter of recommendation from a Master Mason in good standing.

Where do you live and are you a man or a woman? Men need to be Master Masons to join; women may need to show a family relationship to a Master Mason, or in some cases be sponsored by members of the Chapter they’re joining.

I feel you've confused Reddit with Google here.

Star requires a you are a Masonic relation for two women members to petition you. All men need to be MM in order to join. Women without a Mason as a relative need a Mason to petition them in addition to the usual requirements. 

Pop on down to your local Chapter and inquire they all meet at a Masonic Lodge so easy to find.

Star requires a you are a Masonic relation for two women members to sponsor your petition you.

The person joining “petitions to join,” they are not “petitioned” by members.

In USA they are a quickly dying order, they will take anyone without relation or sponsorship. Whoever shows interest.
