How do I become a Freemason?
To become a Freemason you must: Be a man at least 18 years of age, be of good moral character, have a personal belief in a Supreme Being (the definition of a Supreme Being is up to you), decide to become a Mason of "your own free will and accord," be loyal to your country, be dedicated to providing for your own family, have a sincere determination to conduct yourself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others, and possess a desire to help others through community service and universal benevolence.

Follow these steps to become a member:
Talk with someone you know who is a member of the Fraternity. If you do not know anyone who is a Mason, just contact the Clemson Lodge, a lodge in your neighborhood, or the Grand Lodge of South Carolina. Masons do not solicit for members. You will need to express your personal interest in joining the Fraternity. Complete a petition for membership and return it to your local lodge with your degree fees. Three members will meet with you to answer your questions. Your petition will then be presented for a secret ballot. If accepted, you will be notified to appear to receive the first of three Degrees of Masonry.
