33. How does one apply? Do you have to be invited?
No one is ever invited to become a Freemason. The
principle is that you must yourself want to become a Mason and initiate the process by
asking about membership. Ask any Co-Freemason, who will put you in touch with the proper
person, who in turn will provide you with an application form and the other information
you need to begin the process. You are given some written questions to be answered, and
you are interviewed separately by three Master Masons, who answer any questions you have
and ask questions of interest to the Lodge. Your application is read at three successive
meetings of the Lodge, and when acted upon favorably is referred to the national
Representative of the Supreme Council for authorization to initiate you.
