Freemason Membership Requirements
What are the requirements to become a Free Mason?
The requirements to join Freemasons, are:
1. You must be a man of good repute.
2. In most U.S. states, you must be over the age of 21.
Some states vary, so you will need to ask.
3. You must believe in a Supreme Being. (This is a
requirement in the majority of jurisdictions around
the world.)
4. You must be able to support yourself and your family.
How do I begin the process to become a Free Mason?
* 1. You may look in the telephone book for the phone number
of a Masonic lodge near you, however, it is highly probable
no one will be there to answer your call because lodges usually
only meet twice a month, during a week day, in the evening.
* 2. If you find a man who has a bumper sticker that says:
2B1Ask1, you may ask him to provide you a petition. He
probably won't have a petition for Masonic admission with
him, but if you give him your name and phone number, he
will contact a member of his lodge, who will contact you.
* 3. However, the easiest way to begin the process is to contact
your state or country's Grand Lodge. You may call them or fill
out their website form and request that they have someone
contact you.
Then what happens?
* 1. Arrangements will be made to meet you, personally, to
discuss Freemasonry.
* 2. A committee of members from the Lodge, which are called
the Investigative Committee, will contact you to arrange a
meeting.
They will answer any questions you may have. If the meeting
is mutually satisfactory; you will be asked if you wish to fill out
a petition form.
* 3. The Investigative Committee performs inquiries of others
as to your character.
* 4. Your request for membership will be balloted upon by the
lodge's members.
* 5. You will be advised of the date of your admission.
How to find a Lodge:
If you wish to become a Free Mason, the best way to find a lodge close to where you live is to contact the Grand Lodge in your state or country to let them direct you.
Each Grand Lodge has a list of all the subordinate lodges in their jurisdiction.
You can perform a web search using your favorite search engine, (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, etc.) and type:
" Grand Lodge of (Your State or Your Country)" For instance, if you were looking for the Grand Lodge in Indiana, you would type:
"Grand Lodge of Indiana".
5. You must live a moral and ethical life.
6. You must have a strong desire to want to make a
difference in the world. By your actions, you want
to make yourself a better man, and make your
community and the world a better place to live.
