How do I become a Freemason? Ask! 

For a Fraternity steeped in over four hundred years of tradition, you might think it is difficult to
become a Mason.  It isn't. There is one major hurdle each candidate must pass.

Freemasonry in California accepts no one for membership unless they come of their own free will
and accord, having already obtained a favorable impression of our Fraternity.

There are few other requirements however. You must:

We believe that men are first made Masons in their hearts, then they ask to join our Fraternity.
Freemasonry will take these men — good men in their communities — and help them become better men.

Each man brings something different into the Fraternity, as different as the types of men that
become Masons. But each shares a common core of beliefs and of dreams; each believes that, in a small way, by their actions they help make their world, their communities, and themselves better.

Application to become a Mason begins with your local Masonic
Lodge #297, yet may be made in a number of other ways.

Masonic Lodges are usually listed in the "Fraternal Orders" section of your "Yellow Pages" telephone directory. To start the process, all you have to do is ask. In most states members are not allowed to ask you to become a Mason. Thus, you must do the asking. Just call the Lodge closest to you. If there is no response, call again. Lodges do not always have a person available to answer the phone, and there may not be an answering machine. Most Lodges meet in the early evening hours on a weekday. Try calling between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

 Also, you can just ask someone you know to be a Mason or ask a man wearing a Masonic pin or other Masonic identification as pictured at the start of this paragraph. Or you can drop a note addressed to the Secretary at some Lodges, our address is listed here.

If you prefer, you can start your Masonic journey at the state level, at what is called the Grand Lodge. It is an administrative body governing all Lodges in our state of California. Once you have expressed an interest, a few members of the Lodge will arrange to visit you at home at your convenience. This gives you and your family an opportunity to ask questions and to find out if Freemasonry is for you and your family.

You will be asked to fill out an application form, called a petition, which is then signed by Master Masons who have met or know you and recommend you. The petition is shared with the other Lodge members who then vote on your membership.

You will receive further instruction and participate, possibly with other candidates for membership, in three introductory ceremonies, called Degrees, at the Lodge. These explain Freemasonry and give you the opportunity to experience the Lodge’s tradition and fellowship. Everything is dignified. You are not joining a college fraternity where hazing might take place. Rather, you are joining the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world, PERIOD!
