Becoming A Scottish Rite

WHO CAN JOIN THE SCOTTISH RITE AND HOW?

A Delaware AF & AM Mason can petition 60 days after receiving their Master Mason Degree at https://scottishritenmj.org/membership-application (out of state Brothers do not have to wait 60 days).

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BECOMING A 3° VS. BECOMING A 32° MASON?

The process of becoming a Master Mason (3ᵒ), the candidate must go through a petition, investigation, secret ballot, a process of learning the degrees, showing understanding of the degrees and a formal ceremony.

A candidate for the Scottish Rite of Lower Delaware only has to petition and then will be able to view the 4th degree. He then will be able to see live degrees, videos or on-line degrees consisting of the 5th through the 31ᵒ. After viewing three of these degrees, he can become 32ᵒ by viewing it. We have groups of Brothers who travel to other Scottish Rite lodges to view live presentation of these degrees and we would welcome new members. If a brother who wants to join us can take part in live degrees which the VOLD/VOW put on.
