Grand Lodge Membership Committee
Introducing the New "Front Door" to Freemasonry: 
A joint effort of the Scottish Rite, NMJ, Shriners International, and Scottish Rite Freemasonry, SJ, we hope you will visit the site and share with your Brothers, family, friends—and especially with men you know will make good Masons.

The site guides a man through the truths and rewards of Freemasonry as he takes his first steps of his Masonic journey.

Welcome new Brothers into our beloved craft.
Introduce them to BeAFreemason.org.
