How To Join
To qualify for membership, a petitioner must be:
- male, at least 18 years of age
- a believer in the existence of a Supreme Being
- a voluntary candidate for membership, unsolicited by friends
- motivated to join for reasons unrelated to personal gain or profit
- prompted by a favorable opinion of Freemasonry
- desirous of knowledge, and willing to earn it
- willing to conform to the Ancient Usages and Customs of the Fraternity
Freemasonry is proud of its philosophy and practice of "making good men better." Only individuals believed to be of the finest character are favorably considered for membership. Men of every religious affiliation - Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc. - can be considered for membership. However, every applicant must advocate his belief in the existence of a Supreme Being (atheists are not accepted in the Fraternity).
Anyone seeking membership in Freemasonry must ask a Masonic friend to recommend him. He must sign a petition stating his age, occupation, and place of residence. Members of the lodge vote by ballot. To be accepted, the ballot must be unanimous.
