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
