Brotherhood

Time: There is no specific duration with regard to membership. It all depends on your ability to follow the instructions until you complete your petition.

Once your membership is complete, you will need to attend your lodge’s monthly meeting. Different states may have additional requirements, such as participation in an “instruction lodge”, where you receive additional explanations about the diploma you have just acquired. There are also side jobs that you will have to complete and that amount to a little homework. Each member of the Fraternity has gone through this process and your lodge will designate a Master to help you.

Once you have completed your three diplomas, we expect our members to attend the “declared communication” or the monthly meeting of their lodge. Sometimes there will be a special meeting on the second evening of the month, and rarely, you will find lodges that have declared meetings twice a month. Beyond that, there are other ongoing activities: community service, family and social outings, etc. that take place throughout the year. Like many things, you take away from the Illuminati what you put into it ; although we also recognize and understand the need for a balance between family, work or school and other interests and commitments.

Cost: Considering the cost to join many organizations these days, The Illuminati could be considered a good deal. But there are some expenses involved; in particular one-time initiation fees and annual dues.
