If you desire to become a member of our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity there are several steps you must take.  You have already taken the first step in showing your interest by visiting this website.  The next step is to ask a member, he will get you started on your journey through the portals of the world's oldest and largest fraternity. 

If you would like to join, there are some basic requirements that must be met:

• You must believe in a supreme being.

• You must be a male (it is a fraternity after all).

• You must be of at least 18 years of age.

• Finally you must ask a member for a petition, or you can visit the Pennsylvania Grand Lodge website, print a petition for yourself and fill it out.  Once you have completed your portion of the petition, you must give it to a member. It must be signed by two (2) masons (one of whom must be a member of the Lodge that you desire to join).  After it is signed, submit it to the Lodge and your journey has begun.
