You're thinking of Shriners, which are also masons. But a different group of them.

Interesting, My grandfather has been a member of this as long as I can remember. I'll ask him about it.

I've always been curious about this organization, and I've even gone as far as to do a lot of reading into what its all about. To me it sounds like an amazing thing to be a part of. Unfortunately, I know no local masons to "ask" about it. I would attempt a "cold approach" to a local lodge, but being right around their minimum age requirements and not knowing any members for recommendations, I feel its in my best intrest to wait until I'm a little older and more established in my community. It makes me even more eager to eventually join after seeing how many fellow gorillas are a part of it.

dont know louisiana's age req, probably 21, but some states are 18....look for a ring and ask away..

if you approach a local lodge and introduce yourself im pretty sure you could get one of them to sponsor you, just find out when they have their meetings show up a bit before it starts and just say hey hows it going and tell them what you just posted

Yeah, the age limit is 21 here, and I'm about to turn 22 in a couple of weeks. Also, in their rules it states that the vote must be unanimous. Despite how much I've looked into it, I've never really looked into all of my dad's friends as being possible members, so I'll probably try to see if he knows anyone because that would help my process along quite a bit. If ya'll don't mind my asking... did any of you try a "cold approach" not knowing anyone? Also, how old were you guys when you joined?

I've been interested in joining for quite some time now but I had (have) some question which I'm trying to get the answers to because I'm not sure if I would qualify as a candidate in the first place.


BTW, I think this thread was a great idea.
