NO! Hopefully, if the concepts and principles of Masonry as enumerated in this folder interest you, you will not need to be asked to join. You must ask to become a Freemason. Unfortunately, many men who would like to become Masons never do because they are unaware of the above-mentioned requirement (that it be of your own free will and accord, and you must ask to join the Fraternity).

You may be surprised to know that the friend who asked you to read this literature WILL NOT ASK YOU TO PETITION THE MASONIC FRA*TERNITY FOR MEMBERSHIP. Contrary to popu*lar belief, membership in Freemasonry is not by invitation. Instead, if you seek membership, you must do so on your own initiative by making your wishes known to a member of the fraternity
| From How Do You Become A Freemason? Quote: |
The true behind joining Freemasonry is that to join you must first ask. No person should ever been asked to join Freemasonry, the first step should be made by the person interested in joining.
| | That's interesting and all but I was asked to join. I was told many things of traditional masonary have changed due to the population getting older and few young people "asking to become one."
