Free and Accepted Masons Request or Application

The requirements for membership are simple:
To join the Masons in the State of Indiana, you must:

• Be a man at least 18 years of age
• Be of good moral character
• Believe in a Supreme Being
• Ask to join

You will then complete a membership application for a lodge in your city or town (There are approximately 500 lodges in Indiana). An initiation fee, generally $75.00 to $200.00 (this amount is determined by the local lodge), accompanies the application. Within approximately 45 days someone from the lodge will contact you for an interview. Your wife, friend, or parent is encouraged to attend this interview. The lodge at its next meeting will vote on your application. If accepted you are on your way to becoming a Mason. The lodge performs three degrees (initiation ceremonies) for your education and enjoyment. These ceremonies are very dignified and inspirational. At no time will horseplay or indignities enter into the program. These degrees are very solemn and Masons take the task of making Masons very seriously. After becoming a Master Mason (the third degree of the lodge) you may seek membership in the many other Masonic related groups or participate in the many activities and charities described elsewhere in this web site
