lets just say the dress code in the lodges here is "relaxed" overalls and blue jeans are formal attire.  PA is black tie as well. Officers are expected to wear tails and brethren wear nothing less than a dinner jacket as well. Grand Lodge makes dispensations for special occasions but they are rare. This is great had no idea this forum was here, My creds-PA.Master Mason from George Washington #143,Chambersburg,PA,32nd from Harrisburg Consistory,member of the Masonic Society. PA. has now relaxed the dress code to tie optional. And at least in all the District 3 lodges I have been to Tails are worn by elected officers only. |

I would have no problem with formal attire at Lodge. I'm one of the few at our new combined lodge that consistently wear coat and tie. Sure it's more comfortable, but would we really lose members if we requested a little more class? Of course, I wouldn't support kicking someone out if they didn't show up in tails... I work at a "technology" company and I'm considered overdressed in Dockers and polo shirts, so I'm not one of those business/lawyer types that wants everyone to be as uncomfortable as they are. I just think it imparts a level of solemnity that's appropriate for the work we do. |

Wow! I missed the discussion to start this forum!!!
Raised in college at Mountain Lodge #99 in Frostburg, Maryland. Left there as Junior Warden. Joined Susquehanna Lodge #130. The first night I showed up, they had a vacant seat for Junior Warden! Was Master there twice, 2005 and 2006. Still go to every practice. Fill in where needed. We have recycled a lot of the Past Masters. I still do all the 1st Degrees. I have initiated every Brother in my Lodge for the past 7 years. |

I'm a jeans/t-shirt pretty much all the time kind of guy, dressing up for me is usually Dockers and a polo shirt. I won't even show up at Lodge if I'm not wearing a button down shirt and a tie! I do need to get a jacket though (I don't own one now, never really needed one). |

I honestly don't remember the year I was raised, but it was around 1992-93. I was pretty active the first few years. I held a minor appointed position. The time demands of being a single parent started to overtake my life, and I was little more than a dues-payer for many, many years.
With the youngest kid soon to be off to college, I have more time these last few years. One of my sons has expressed interest, and I look forward to that day.
