Becoming a Freemason means joining a global brotherhood of men on the same journey, working together to become better and build a better world. We accept men from all walks of life who demonstrate upright conduct and acknowledge a belief in a Supreme Being.
Illinois Freemasonry is a fraternity committed to imbuing the virtues of equality, charity, tolerance, fellowship, and brotherly love in its members. If you know a Freemason, then we encourage you to reach out and talk with him about his experience in Freemasonry to see if it’s a right fit for you.
