In CA most members wear sportcoats or suits. Most officers wear tuxedo's. If you show up in a button down shirt and tie or jacket, you would not be underdressed. CA has a facebook https://www.facebook.com/MasonsofCalifornia with pictures of lodges and members, you can get a feel for the types of men that are there. Some old, some young and in between. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For regular meetings? Forget that.... Quote HistoryQuoted: Officers wear a Tux to every meeting and our members all wear suits. PA is a black tie state. Visitors from out of state come as they are and are welcome. Dressing up to go to Masons is awesome IMHO. |

My grandfather was one, too, and my uncle in Texas is one now. Figured it was time to carry on the legacy and just had my EA conferred last Thursday. I can say that I am very proud so far and can't wait to continue!

I'm in Maryland at the Kensington-Bethesda 198 Lodge. But my EA degree was conferred at the Wheaton Lodge - lots of good people there.
I feel like I'm already ready to go FC already (in only one week!!), but I want to give my EA some time so everything kind of soaks in. So I'll wait for my FC until after the summer when the lodges are dark. |

Please take your time. One problem the craft has is they manufacture Masons. We need to build them. Understand every word and phrase of your obligation. Look up the history of the lectures and understand the words and phrases there also.

Last year I was JD, between work, family and lodge I didn't have any time and was really feeling pressured. I"m content for now just visiting other lodges in search of more light. I've enjoyed Lodge more since I started traveling to other lodges. |

OP, Congratulations on your journey.
You can always drop by say an hour before their Stated meeting, someone will take time to speak with you. Wear whatever you would wear to make a first impression, shirt and trousers is fine. If you are coming work and in work clothes or uniform, fine also. As far as what Master Masons wear to meetings, my Lodge officers still wear tuxedos for stated meetings. Doesn't matter what you wear, the important thing is that you show up. |
