How to become a Shriner
All you have to do is ask a Shriner, and he will help you!
​
• If you hold the title of Master Mason in Freemasonry, you qualify and are invited to join the Shriners.
• If you are not a Freemason, you have an excellent opportunity to pursue that first. Freemasonry is a worldwide fraternity emphasizing personal study, self improvement, and social betterment via individual involvement and philanthropy.
• Once you are a Master Mason you will then be eligible to become a Shriner. A Shriner in your town will be able to help you.
