 Freemasonry does not solicit members.
Be a man, at least 18 years old.
Have belief in a Supreme Being (of any faith. No particular religion or faith is
required or excluded. All are welcome.)
You should be someone who does, or want to learn to, enjoy the company of other men
from all different social classes, faiths, backgrounds, races, countries, etc. Masonry is
universal in its ideals.
If you are a family man, Masonry considers that your family obligations come
FIRST, so you must be sure that you have the time to participate (usually two or
three evenings/month at first for meetings and instruction, and then at least one evening
per month for meetings from then on -- often more if you get involved in lodge
activities.)
You can afford the initiation fees and the annual dues without hardship to yourself
or your family.
You should be coming to Masonry "of your own free will and accord", to
learn to improve yourself and to enjoy the company of other good people, not because
someone keeps pestering you to join or because you think it will help you "get
ahead" in business.
