Become a member of a fraternity where millions of men world-wide take an obligation to have your back. An organization which practices the hallmarks of a noble life.

Step one is to contact us with your intentions. You will be paired with a NorthStar Success Coach who will lead you through a multi-step process which includes a walk about the lodge room where you will receive a basic overview of the tenants of our craft.

To advance further and have your Petition considered, a comprehensive background check will be performed through Guarding the West Gate for a small administrative fee of $16.00. If you already know you are well qualified and serious about Petitioning Kisco Lodge, No. 708, we encourage you to obtain your own background report ahead of time and present it together with your Petition for Initiation and Advancement as this will streamline our NorthStar onboarding process and can help minimize your time in waiting for your 1st Degree.

You will be required to attend at least three Masonic social functions, one of which your spouse or significant other will be encouraged to attend with you to view an informational video and have the opportunity to ask us any questions.

At the appropriate time, you may file an application for membership accompanied by a $400.00 application fee. 50% of the application fee is refundable should you have a change of heart and decide not to proceed with Initiation or in the event your ballot is found unfavorable. Once Initiated, fees are not refundable. This fee also covers your annual Dues for the first year. The application fee is due upon signing but the balance may be paid any time on or before your scheduled Initiation date.

Masonic Lodges confer three degrees: Initiated Entered Apprentice, Passed to the Degree of Fellow Craft, and finally Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Eligibility for advancement depends on you as you must be proven suitably proficient in each Degree prior to advancement to the next.

After being “Raised” you are then free to travel to other lodges and or become members of concordant bodies such as York Rite ( Royal Arch, Cryptic Masons, and Knights Templar) and or Scottish Rite, which has a system of thirty-two degrees featuring life lessons veiled in allegory. You must be a Master Mason to join the concordant bodies, including Shriner’s.
