Freemasonry, or Masonry, is the world’s oldest and most enduring fraternal organization. With roots tracing back to the skilled stonemasons and cathedral builders of the Middle Ages, it continues to play a meaningful role in the lives of millions of men around the globe today.
Freemasonry passes its values from one generation to the next through a series of symbolic degrees and time-honored ceremonies. These degrees offer a moral and philosophical framework grounded in the core principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth—principles that guide and inspire Masons in all aspects of modern life.
Every year, in towns and cities across America, thousands of men choose to become Freemasons. They are men of character and compassion, driven by a commitment to personal growth and service. Each one takes a solemn vow—not just to live with honor, but to strive toward becoming something greater: not just a man, but a Mason.
What is Freemasonry?
A Freemason is a man who has taken an obligation to uphold our timeless principles of Brotherly love, relief, and truth. Beyond these basics, being a Freemason means so much more. A Freemason is a man who is committed to bettering himself and his community, having taken a solemn vow to help and mentor his Masonic Brothers do the same. A Freemason is a man eager to be part of something bigger than himself, with a reverence for history, compassion in his heart, and a desire to create a better future.
There are three degrees in Freemasonry: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. Most men advance to the level of Master Mason, some over the course of months; others may accomplish this goal over years. But once a man has taken his first obligation as an Entered Apprentice, he is, once and forever, a Freemason
