Freemasonry is an institution founded on eternal reason and truth; whose deep basis is the civilization of mankind, and whose everlasting glory it is to have the immovable support of those two mighty pillars, science and morality.
— George Washington
The secrecy of Masonry is an honourable secrecy; any good man may ask for her secrets; those who are worthy will receive them. To give them to those who do not seek, or who are not worthy, would but impoverish the Fraternity and enrich not those who received them.

To become a Freemason, you must:
be a man at least 18 years of age;
be of good moral character;
have personal beliefs in a Supreme Being and the resurrection of the soul (the definitions of these terms 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 family and those dependent upon you; 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.
To join, follow these steps:
Talk with someone you know who is a Mason (you may be surprised who that someone might be!). If you do not know anyone who is a Mason, just contact a lodge in your neighborhood. You’ll need to express your personal interest in joining the Fraternity.
Complete a petition for membership and return it to your local lodge with the proper fees. Three members will meet with you to assess your character and answer your questions. In some cases, you may be subject to a background check.
Your petition will be presented for secret ballot. If accepted, you will be notified when and where to appear to receive the first of the three degrees of Freemasonry.
