Interested in Joining? An important characteristic of the Masonic fraternity is that it never solicits members. Our code of conduct prevents it. Thus, no faithful Mason will ever invite you to join the Fraternity. Instead, one must ask to be admitted by contacting a lodge and requesting a petition for membership. A man who seeks admission must meet the following criteria: 1) He must be a man at least 21 years old; 2) He must believe in the existence of a Supreme Being; 3) He must be mentally competent and of good moral character; 4) He must enter Freemasonry of his own free will and accord. Upon submission of a petition, the candidate must provide three character references, and will be investigated by a committee of inquiry. The Lodge must approve his candidacy by a unanimous ballot. The candidate is then eligible to receive the three Degrees of Symbolic Freemasonry. If you are interested in applying for membership, you may download and print out a copy of our petition.
