Are you seeking more information about becoming a Freemason?
If you are interested in Freemasonry we want to hear from you. Some men are surprised that no one has
ever asked them to become a Mason. They may even feel that the Masons in their town don't think they
are "good enough" to join. But it doesn't work that way. For hundreds of years, Masons have been forbidden
to ask others to join the fraternity. We can talk to friends about Masonry. We can tell them about what
Masonry does. We can tell them why we enjoy it. But we can't ask, much less pressure, anyone to join.
The person who wants to join Masonry must be a man (it's a fraternity), sound in body and mind,
who ‘believes in God’, is at least the minimum age required by Masonry in his state (18 years old in
Maryland), and has a good reputation. (Incidentally, the "sound in body" requirement -- which comes from
the stonemasons of the Middle Ages -- doesn't mean that a physically challenged man cannot be a Mason;
many are). Those are the only "formal" requirements. But there are others, not so formal. He should believe
in helping others. He should believe there is more to life than pleasure and money. He should be willing to
respect the opinions of others. And he should want to grow and develop as a human being.
