Freemasonry is the largest and oldest secular fraternal order in the world, crossing all religious boundaries to bring men together of all countries, sects, and opinion in peace and harmony. Its members have included major religious figures, kings, and presidents.[1]
To join the brotherhood, you must demonstrate the values that have been shared by millions of Masons for hundreds of years.Note: Some jurisdictions accept men who are 18 and over, and in other cases exceptions are made for the sons of members, or for university students.
Tip: Look up your local Freemason lodge. Call the lodge and ask them how to pursue membership in that jurisdiction.
Note: Throughout the apprenticeship period, you must continue to demonstrate good character.
